A bloody escape by a man who lost his left hand turned into a beast, fighting for love and regeneration.

Osamu Kogure, a day labourer living on the fringes of society, loses his left hand during a robbery orchestrated by his former superior, Inui, who dies on the spot. Osamu manages to survive thanks to the help of a dark doctor from another place, but the lost left hand is now strangely deformed.

Determined to reclaim his life and seek vengeance, Osamu teams up with Koyuki, a woman from his past, as they flee the city in pursuit of justice...
