During the Edo period in Japan, acupuncturist Dr. Baian (Ken Watanabe) uses his skills to kill or cure. In fact, Baian often accepts payment to extinguish evildoers -- but only so that he can use the money to minister to the innocent sick. Think Robin Hood with needles and blades instead of a longbow. This first volume of the gritty series finds Baian navigating the shadowy street scene, where the action takes place in bars and brothels.
