Synopsis Gachiakuta:

Living in the poor neighborhoods of a wealthy society, there is a population of "tribesmen," descendants of criminals exiled from society. Among the tribesmen is a young man named Rudo, who detests the wastefulness of the upper class. However, they frequently dispose of anything considered trash, including criminals, in a massive dumping ground beneath the city known as "The Abyss." His adoptive father, Regto, informed Rudo that his biological father was thrown into the Abyss for a crime committed before his birth. One day, after rummaging through a dumping ground, Rudo returns home to find Regto dead. Arrested at the scene of the crime, Rudo is immediately charged with murder, despite his innocence due to his status as a tribesman. Unable to escape their fate, the people vow revenge on Rudo and throw him into the Abyss.
