This is the medieval Japan. Kinuyo was born deaf and mute, and her father would constantly beat her up. One day he got tired of her, and sold her to Madame Kaji: the owner of a brothel who took her under her protection. However, some time later, Kinuyo was taken away by Boss Hanata, who kept her locked inside his house guarded by claw-wielding warriors, and would abuse her just like her father did. Sick and covered in sores, Kinuyo is in need of rescue, before the illness and abuse kills her.
