During Japan's Edo period, the frail heir to an apothecary, Ichitarou, is confined to his room amidst whispers about his health. His grandfather's plea for divine intervention brings two spirit guardians, Sasuke and Nikichi, to watch over the boy. As Ichitarou grows, he yearns to be active, defying those who urge him to rest. A clandestine excursion leads him to witness a murder, but the details he observes conflict with the official account. Driven by curiosity, Ichitarou investigates the perplexing crime, gathering clues from both the living and the spectral realms, potentially uncovering a hidden truth.
