An ancient Japanese city is crumbling; there is no food, its people are dying on the streets in hunger. Then, in a sudden stroke of luck, a magical sword that grants you anything you desire is presented to this city by a mysterious hero; a young boy who has travelled bravely and encountered many challenges to bring this Golden Samurai Sword to those that need it. The citizens vow to return it in a year, so that others can benefit from it as they have. The city flourishes; the crops grow, the rain falls, and the impoverished people of the city start to live happy, comfortable lives. However, their needs quickly go from being simple to complex, humble to extravagant. But when the boy returns to fulfill his promise and take away the sword, chaos reigns as four bumbling citizens, driven by sheer greed, plot to stop the boy from honouring his duty. Ultimately, even they are surprised by just how far they will go…
