Ryouga, a young boy who was the sole survivor of a plane crash that claimed his parents, is plagued by nightmares and bullied by his classmates. Fed up, he agrees to transfer to a new school, drawn by a mysterious offer and the hope that they might know why or how he survived the crash. Upon arriving at the new school, he learns he must play a card game with three others to be accepted... one card each, one vicious monster each, and one gruesome death for all but one.
