In 2084, only a few humans hold out against the aliens that have attacked the Earth. The young Milly is sent 82 years back in time in order to find the first alien which landed on the planet and kill it. She makes the acquaintance of Miyamoto, a man who has dedicated his last years to find the mobster Mizoguchi who murdered his closest friend in order to sell his organs.
Together, Milly and Miyamoto, manage to get close to the alien and understand that it isn't unfriendly at all and that it only wants to get back to its spaceship. It seems that it was the human race who was responsible for the war against the aliens by letting the first alien die. But the alien is stolen by Mizoguchi who believes that it will bring him power. Milly and Miyamoto don't have a lot of time to recover the dying alien, to return him to its comrades and to kill Mizoguchi.
