Rudo and his adoptive father, Legto, live in the slums of a wealthy city and try to fit in with the rest of the city, but Rudo despises the wastefulness of the upper class. Ignoring the warnings of those around him, Rudo regularly scavenges through the city's trash in search of anything useful or valuable to salvage from the "Abyss," a huge hole where everything considered trash, including people, is thrown. Rudo's biological father was one such person, who was thrown into the Abyss after being accused of murder. One day, after passing a mysterious figure on his way home, Rudo returns to find Legto's dying body on the ground.

The authorities immediately find him there and charge him with murder. No one believes his innocence and he is thrown into the Abyss. However, instead of dying, he finds himself in a strange, stinking place surrounded by monsters made of garbage. When Rudo is attacked by these monsters, he is saved by a man named Enjin, who reveals himself to be a “janitor,” someone who uses special weapons called “jinkis” to fight these creatures. To get revenge on those who killed Legto, Rudo reluctantly becomes a janitor in order to fight his way out of the Abyss.
