In this war torn megalopolis a group of people struggles for survival. An artist tries to save her lover, a politician his integrity, a sportsman his dignity, a merchant his money and a cab driver his organs. But as all these people fight, love, trick and run for their lives in an epic conflict, they discover one sole truth: You are your own maker.

Conflict and tension looms heavily across the broken remains of a distant, post-apocalyptic world. Controlled by a race of oppressive genetically-enhanced humans, the last natural-born humans have no choice but to bow down to their rule. The only alternative is to wander the vast wastelands surrounding the last habitable city, whilst relentlessly hunted by roaming pack of mutated monsters. Meanwhile, outside the towering walls of the citadel, aboard a massive hulking army tank, an uprising occurs amongst the natural-born crew. Their hope lies in the legend of the Republic of EZO: said to return aboard the last starship....

When the gambling-addicted Princess Yuki runs off yet again, her yojimbos (bodyguards) Eggers and Lenni do everything in their power to catch her before her uncontrollable daimyo plucks out every single one of their feathers. In the process, they encounter not only the usual suspects—shinobi, yakuza, and kauji—but also a magical monkey with extremely annoying principles. Kawaī alert! Prequel to the famous tale: The 5th Monkey from Hell Valley.
