A blind nomad with unparalleled swordsmanship, masquerading as a simple masseur, arrives in a small Japanese village. This town is sharply divided and oppressed by gang rivalry where two criminal organizations vie for dominance. Exploiting his inconspicuous appearance, the blind man navigates through the conflict-stricken community with serene detachment. He quickly discerns the power dynamics and tensions that weigh upon the townspeople, ensnared in the web of corruption and violence that surrounds them. As he befriends some of the villagers, he comes to understand the profound impact the gang rivalry has had on their lives.

In his quiet, unassuming manner, the swordsman begins to unravel the intricate bonds of loyalty and debt that hold the town in its dismal state. His interactions bring him closer to a number of locals including a struggling farmer and his niece, and two geishas with a mission of their own. As the tension boils over, the stranger's true skills become a catalyst for change. With every subtle movement, he edges the town closer to an upheaval as his adversaries learn that beneath the facade of a blind masseur lies a formidable warrior with a strong sense of justice.
