Taima, a master of the deadly "Taima-hari" needle that repels evil spirits, receives a new job request. As Taima heads to the client's house with his assistant Totsuki Maki, he is confronted by Jingo of the Oniso-ryu, a wicked needle with whom he has a long history. As a result of the "test," Jingo takes the job from Taima, but he joins up with another "exorcist," Kyogo of the You-ryu, and pursues the Oniso-ryu. However, when they arrive at the gates of the client's Fuyuka family, they find an unimaginable world unfolding beyond their eyes.
