- Jolyne Cujoh is an inmate at Green Dolphin Street Jail, and is the daughter of the Stardust Crusaders main protagonist Jotaro Kujo. Her Stand is Stone Free, which allows her to unravel her body into elastic thread.
- Ermes Costello is an inmate who got her sentence on purpose, intending to get revenge on her sister’s killer, Sports Maxx. She uses the Stand Kiss, which allows her to place stickers on objects that duplicate the objects perfectly until the sticker is removed, at which point the duplicate and the original will violently fuse together, leaving the object damaged.
- Foo Fighters, shortened to F.F., is a sapient being consisting of plankton. She is her own Stand, with the ability to control the plankton colony as one being or individually, as well as the ability to seal wounds using plankton or possess someone’s body, the latter of which she uses to assume the appearance of a deceased prisoner named Atroe.
- Emporio Alnino is a boy born to an unknown inmate in Green Dolphin Street Jail. His Stand, Burning Down the House, manifests in the form of a ghost room that he secretly lives in, together with Weather Report and Narciso Anasui.
- Weather Report, born Domenico Pucci and raised as Wes Bluemarine, is an amnesiac inmate who aides Jolyne at Emporio’s request. With no memory of his true name, he goes by the name of his Stand, which allows him to manipulate the weather and the atmosphere. His Stand also has a hidden ability known as Heavy Weather, which sends subliminal messages that gradually transform people into snails.
- Narciso Anasui is an inmate who is in love with Jolyne, and wishes to marry her despite her clear lack of interest. His stand, Diver Down, allows him to phase himself or his Stand into objects, or into others’ bodies to absorb damage dealt to them.

Now a middle-aged man, he arrives at Green Dolphin Street Jail to help Jolyne clear her name and stop Enrico Pucci.

Framed for a crime she didn’t commit, and manipulated into serving a longer sentence, Jolyne is ready to resign to a dire fate as a prisoner of Green Dolphin Street Jail. Though all hope seems lost, a gift from Joutarou ends up awakening her latent abilities, manifesting into her Stand, Stone Free. Now armed with the power to change her fate, Jolyne sets out to find an escape from the stone ocean that holds her.
However, she soon discovers that her incarceration is merely a small part of a grand plot: one that not only takes aim at her family, but has additional far-reaching consequences. What’s more, the mastermind is lurking within the very same prison, and is under the protection of a lineup of menacing Stand users. Finding unlikely allies to help her cause, Jolyne sets course to stop their plot, clear her name, and take back her life.
