Synopsis of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
In Florida, 2011, Jolyne Kuujou is sitting in a cell as was her father Joutarou; however, this situation is not of her own choosing. Framed for a crime she didn’t commit and manipulated into serving a longer sentence, Jolyne is willing to resign herself to a grim fate as a prisoner of the Delfín Verde street jail. Though all hope seems lost, a gift from Joutarou ends up awakening her latent abilities, manifesting in her Stand, Stone Free. Now, armed with the power to change her destiny, Jolyne sets out to find a way out of the ocean of stone that holds her back. However, she soon discovers that her imprisonment is but one small part of a larger plot: one that not only targets her family, but has further far-reaching consequences. What’s more, the mastermind lurks in the same prison, and is under the protection of a lineup of menacing Stand users. Jolyne finds unlikely allies to help her cause, and she sets out to stop the plot, clear her name, and get her life back.
