Rônin Akitsu Masanosuke is a skilled swordsman, but his personality often causes him to be let go from his job. One day he encounters Yaichi, the leader of a group calling itself "Five Leaves" and takes a job from him as a bodyguard. Though he is worried about their intentions, he feels there is something more to the group and agrees to work with them.

A wandering swordsman with a knack for bad luck finds himself guarding a group of shady opportunists who claim to work for the common good. Suspicion lingers behind every smile in this quiet character study about whether people can truly change their nature.
