A Florida prison sits under the wet heat of the Atlantic coast like a white tombstone, and inside a visitation room, a girl named Jolyne Cujoh is about to learn that the law she trusted was never built to protect her. She was convicted of a vehicular homicide she did not commit — an accident staged by her unfaithful boyfriend, an attorney paid off by the family of the real victim, a judge who sealed her fate before she could speak. Her own father, Jotaro Kujo, the man who once stopped time itself, steps into the room with a grim expression and a pendant he presses into her hand — a fragment of the Bow and Arrow. When the pendant cuts her thumb, her Stand awakens. Stone Free. Strings that unravel her own body into a living web, thin enough to slip through handcuffs, strong enough to deflect bullets.

Jotaro came to Port St. Lucie to break her out. Instead, the ambush waiting for him is a nightmare even Star Platinum cannot outfight. A Stand named Whitesnake strips Jotaro of his memories and his Stand, both compressed into two shimmering discs, and the man who walked out of Cairo as a legend collapses into a comatose husk. Jolyne is left standing inside the Green Dolphin Street Prison, holding nothing except the disc that contains her father's soul and the furious realization that the mastermind she just glimpsed is a man — no, a priest — named Enrico Pucci. Pucci serves a god she cannot comprehend yet. He has been waiting decades for this moment. And the philosophy he is chasing, a plan inherited from DIO himself, is called Heaven. What Heaven means, in Pucci's arithmetic, is a Stand that accelerates time itself — Made in Heaven — a universal reset that forces every living human to relive their lives with full knowledge of their fate. Jolyne, incarcerated, surrounded, and outmatched by a cascade of enemy Stand users Pucci dispatches to kill her before she can reach her comatose father, does not break. She makes allies inside the walls — Ermes, a woman with a debt of revenge; Foo Fighters, a plankton colony that learned personhood by possessing a dead inmate's corpse; Weather Report, an amnesiac whose Stand reshapes the atmosphere; and Emporio, a child born inside the prison whose Stand, Burning Down the House, conjures a ghost room none of the guards can find. The final battle will leave the Cape Canaveral coastline unrecognizable, and the only mercy at the end of the universe is that the Joestar bloodline's final daughter understands exactly what she is sacrificing.
