As per Netflix Tudum, the story follows the 21st Division of the Japanese Angel Federation, known as the Dandelion Clan, who reject bureaucratic speed. Instead of rushing spirits to the next world, they focus on resolving the lingering regrets and earthly attachments of the deceased.

Their mission is to ensure every soul finds true peace before the final send-off occurs in the afterlife.
