This is the summary I've written for the story:

"Shijo: Invisible Noise follows Shizuka Joestar, the baby that Joseph and Josuke picked up in DiU, as she fights to save the world from a stand user known as Slim Shady as he tries to take over the late Joseph Joestar's estate business and thereby uncover the secret to acquiring the perfect stand. Along the way she meets new friends; although to you some of them may feel like old friends to you. The story takes place in 2015."

For perspective, how old are characters from other parts?:

"Joseph Joestar is dead. Jotaro Kujo is 47 years old. Muhammed Avdol is 54 years old and Jean Pierre Polnareff is 48 years old. Koichi Hirose is 32 years old (while Josuke and Okuyasu are 33.) Giorno Giovanna is 29 years old, and Bruno Bucellati is 34 years old (while Leone Abbacchio is 35.)"

Yeeah, you heard me. Joseph finally kicked the bucket. That's what starts the story. Here's a more detailed account of what's to happen in the story:

Shizuka Joestar is sixteen when Joseph dies, painlessly and quietly and without much mess. Caesar Zeppeli had died only two weeks earlier, and Suzie Q had been dead for about a month before that. Shizuka, or Shijo, discovers that the old man passed on his business to her in his will. But someone wants what she has and she decides to fight to protect what she inherited, using her stand, Achtung Baby, to protect herself from the mysterious stand user whom she only knows as Slim Shady. But this villain is not alone, and has tracked down and recruited stand users all over the world, and they're all coming right for Shizuka.

She isn't alone for very long. Although she feels disconnected from her family for not being born into it, but soon two other stand users join her and help her fight: Raphsody Fuji; a youngster who's bored of her life and wants something new to happen, and Jamie Minik; a stranger with mysterious connections to Slim Shady himself...

But there's more to it than that. Thanks to a phone call to Jotaro Kujo, ShiJo discovers that Joseph had a secret, using his estate business to act as a cover for a secret project he'd been working on during the last year's of his life. The secret for acquiring the perfect stand...

There's more story to it than that, and more characters that I will introduce at some point in the future. To add onto that, the story isn't finished and we have some things still to work out. Queen among them: what is the secret to getting the perfect stand that so many villains have sought after without finding?
