It follows the journey of curious nine-year-old Memenpu and her father, Gaganba, who is not good at anything.

One day, Memempuu pleads with Gaganbar, a cave examiner who makes maps of the internal part of Labyrinth, to go travel together with her to find her mother.

As a ‘marker,’ Gaganbar holds the most dangerous yet attractive profession. The area outside the colony is deemed to be dangerous and meeting a huge mysterious creature that loiters the cave, one’s chance of living cuts down to five percent.

Since it is a dangerous racket to explore the unknown world, the map they hold is valuable and can be sold at a high price. However, is the price for their curiosity higher? What could be the cruel truth that is hidden among them?
