Plot summary

Trouble-making police detective Boyle Samejima, who is not averse to breaking rules to get the job done, is transferred from Shinjuku, Tokyo to the laid-back Ogasawara Islands. Now at the Anegashima Police Department, Samejima investigates the bizarre unsolved case of "The Cult of the Sea" (海の教団), where a religious cult who worshiped a little girl as their oracle suddenly vanished. That little girl, Chako, has recently returned with the humanoid dolphin Orpheus, whom she calls "Papa." Orpheus joins the police department on the same day as Samejima, as his partner and superior.
