In a desperate attempt to revive his faltering writing career, Momosuke Yamaoka embarks on a journey across Edo-period Japan to gather one hundred ghost tales. During his travels through the mountains, he encounters a monk named Mataichi. Despite warnings to turn back, Momosuke presses on and inadvertently witnesses Mataichi and his two companions committing a murder. It becomes clear that this group acts as vigilantes, investigating paranormal incidents and meting out justice to the guilty.

Gradually pulled into the dark world they inhabit, he grapples with the moral complexities of their actions and the thin line between human and supernatural realms.
