Their goal is to uncover the identity of the mastermind who has been sending assassins to them and the enormous treasure hidden there. However, the moment they approach the island, their plane is shot down by a sniper, and the group makes an emergency landing on the island of death.
There, they find a landscape that seems like the end of the world, with mountains of decaying weapons and nuclear missiles piled up, and "garbage people" who were once used as weapons and then discarded wandering around. The island is covered in fog and filled with poison that will bring death within 24 hours, and there is no escape.
The ruler of the island, Muomu, has proclaimed immortality and is trying to rule the world by selection and elimination. Facing an "immortal enemy" that is invulnerable to guns and swords, Lupin challenges his past, his pride, and his pride as a thief in a battle of wits.
Will Lupin be able to steal everything within 24 hours and escape the island alive?
