A family-friendly kaiju adventure centered on a boy's bond with his pet monster, balancing wonder and spectacle with genuine emotional stakes including loss.

A young boy in a peaceful seaside town gets more than he bargained for when he takes home a mysterious egg. When it hatches, out comes a baby turtle that grows into a new version of Gamera. But will it become powerful enough in time to defeat the rampaging monster Zedus?
