Abandoned by his mother and having had to fend for himself, Ryuu is one of many Japanese youths that have turned to a life of petty crime in order to survive in Japanese society.

However, help emerges to give him the strength to fight for his freedom from an unexpected source: a victim of one of his past crimes.
