Episode 11 Story

While Charlie is away, his home is set on fire, resulting in the deaths of Hannah and Bert.

However, their direct cause of death is later determined not to be the fire itself, but murder committed by an unknown assailant.

After the incident, Charlie disappears, and the funeral for the two victims is held.

Several nearby residents admit to setting the fire at the house but deny having any intent to kill.

Meanwhile, a bounty is placed on Charlie, drawing people from both within and outside the state who rush in hoping to track him down.

“Why are only humans special?”

Charlie is a boy living in a rural area of Missouri, USA. He is a “Humanzee,” half human and half chimpanzee, possessing intelligence that surpasses humans and physical abilities that exceed those of chimpanzees. When Charlie turns fifteen, he enrolls in school for the first time at the recommendation of his human foster parents.

There, Charlie meets Lucy, a brilliant girl who struggles with communication. His peaceful school life is short-lived, however, as Charlie becomes a target due to the uniqueness of his origins. A terrorist organization known as ALA, which advocates “animal liberation,” begins to pursue him.

In order to protect his family and Lucy, Charlie chooses to confront the ALA.

“Terrorism,” “discrimination,” “human rights,” “cancel culture”……

Together with Lucy, Charlie, who is “not human,” faces the issues that humanity itself carries.

A human and non-human drama begins here!!
