Suzuki, who was once a law-abiding teacher, joins a criminal organization called Reijou in order to avenge his murdered wife.

This mystery man is also being pursued by two other hit men; the knife-wielder Cicada and the assassin Whale, whose family is in the business of making people commit suicide. The story is written from the points of view from these three people and ultimately relates how their fates are intertwined.
