Leto 33 naše dobe. V rimski provinci Judeji skrivnostni mizar, imenovan Jezus iz Nazareta, začne naznanjati prihod "božjega kraljestva" in se obkroža s skupino ponižnih ribičev: apostolov. Židovi so že stoletja čakali na prihod Mesije - providnostne osebnosti, ki bi osvobodila svojo sveto domovino in vzpostavila nov red, ki temelji na pravičnosti. Jezusovi nauki pritegnejo veliko množico privržencev, ki ga prepoznajo kot Mesijo. Prepričan nad situacijo, Sanhedrin s pomočjo Juda Iscariota, enega od dvanajstih apostolov, aretira Jezusa. Kristus je obtožen izdaje proti Rimu izročen Ponciju Pilatu, ki ga v izogib neredu obsoja na smrt na križu kot običajnega zločinca.

In the beginning, an "orb" is cast unto Earth. "It" can do two things: change into the form of the thing that stimulates "it"; and come back to life after death. "It" morphs from orb to rock, then to wolf, and finally to boy, but roams about like a newborn who knows nothing. As a boy, "it" becomes Fushi. Through encounters with human kindness, Fushi not only gains survival skills, but grows as a "person". But his journey is darkened by the inexplicable and destructive enemy Nokker, as well as cruel partings with the people he loves.
