Acrisius is a totalitarian city controlled by a group of people called Hangmen and one man called Carnegie Spree. The city has a parallel dimension called the Underworld where Hangmen are sent to kill the subordinates and citizens who have broken a law of Acrisius. No trial, no jury, just killing, in fact most of all the hangmen have fun doing it! A hangman named Logun is the exception to that since he finds no joy in killing the subordinates of Acrisius, but only finds it as a chore. Suddenly, a mysterious group called the Ascension serves as the resistance to Carnegie Spree's rule. Logun learns through the Ascension that Carnegie Spree has skeletons in his closet, along with the secrets of the city!
