A girl with no memory of genocide fights injustice in a mask, not knowing the man she's falling for is the son of the family that murdered hers. The show takes Shakespeare's ending and rewrites it as a desperate question: can love actually stop a war, or does it just make the bodies pile higher? By the final episode, you're not watching a romance anymore, you're watching two people realize that loving each other might be the only way either of them survives what's coming.
On the floating continent of Neo Verona, a vigilante called the Red Whirlwind protects the oppressed citizens from the Montague regime. Beneath the disguise is Juliet, the last surviving member of the Capulet clan, hidden away by loyal retainers since her family's massacre at the hands of the Montagues fourteen years ago. She has forgotten both the killings and who she really is, and she lives as a boy named Odin. Everything shifts when Juliet meets Romeo, the kind and selfless son of the tyrannical Montague ruler, and the two fall for each other at first sight without knowing each other's background. Their families each want the other destroyed, and an ancient secret buried beneath Neo Verona also stands in their way. Loosely adapted from Shakespeare's play, this fantasy drama sets its star-crossed romance against a backdrop of political conflict and war.
