Suzume Suma starts her first day as a Dino zookeeper at a small, underfunded and slowly dying dinosaur park where she hopes to build a bridge between the animals and their human visitors by bringing out their stories and showing the personalities of each animal at the park.

Anyone with the whole picture could have seen the explosion coming, but no one could see everything. On April 26, 1986, a safety test went horribly wrong, causing one of the reactors to overheat and explode with radioactive energy for tens of kilometers and sending a radioactive cloud of smoke as far away as Canada. The cleanup process involved hundreds of thousands of people, some of whom died shortly after, leaving others to deal with radiation sickness for decades.
