In a post-war Japan, where hope and despair seem to be in constant struggle, a wandering bohemian named Ryo moves from city to city, seeking a life and meaning that elude him. Having left behind a tumultuous past, Ryo finds refuge in a small town in Kanto, where he becomes just another vagabond, surviving on temporary jobs and the kind charity of the locals.
As he delves into this new life, Ryo becomes intertwined with the lives of other characters: a young orphan who dreams of escaping the limitations of her surroundings, an elderly man who has lost faith in humanity, and a group of workers fighting against the injustices of the system. In this melting pot of hopes and frustrations, Ryo becomes the catalyst that drives others to face their own demons and pursue their dreams, despite the obstacles.
However, the shadow of his past does not easily fade, and he soon finds himself forced to confront difficult decisions and old enemies that threaten to ruin the new life he has begun to build. With strokes of drama, friendship, and redemption, this story explores the power of personal change and collective struggle in a world where the fight for survival can become a quest for purpose.
