In the vibrant and chaotic backdrop of Tokyo, a group of young people, mostly marginalized, navigates the streets of a metropolis that seems to devour them. Among them is Kikuo, a dreamer seeking meaning in a world that rejects him. After leaving his small hometown in hopes of a better future, Kikuo finds himself trapped in the harsh reality of urban life. Surrounded by gangs, prostitutes, and struggling workers, his path intertwines with several figures that reflect the struggles of a generation.
