On the Hokkaido frontier, a war veteran and Ainu girl race against misfits and military renegades to find treasure mapped out on tattooed outlaws.
Kanto, 14, a descendant of Japan's indigenous Ainu people, decides to visit a hole in the forest — a path to the other side of the world where dead people live, hoping to see his deceased father.
With two map pieces secured, Sugimoto ans Asirpa continue their hunt for the remaining 22 tattooed convicts whose bodies hold the key to hidden treasure.
