PlotIn a post-apocalyptic frontier city known as Samurai Town, a ruthless bank robber is freed from prison by the wealthy warlord the Governor. The Governor charges him with the mission of retrieving his adopted granddaughter, Bernice, who has gone missing in the mysterious, ominous region known as the Ghostland. To ensure compliance, the robber is strapped into a leather suit rigged with explosives that will detonate if he strays too far from his path or acts against his mission. He is given only five days to complete this perilous task and bring Bernice back safely.
The robber ventures into the Ghostland, encountering various outlaws, spectral dangers, and otherworldly landscapes that challenge his resolve and sanity. As he delves deeper into this nightmarish realm, he discovers hidden truths about Bernice's disappearance and the true nature of the Governor's motives. Each moment he spends in the Ghostland brings him closer to either liberation or total annihilation, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation that could seal the fate of everyone involved.
