Legendary firefighter Matsunaga Gengo, once feared as the unstoppable "Fire-Eating Bird," quit after a tragic blaze and now scrapes by as a broke ronin with his wife. When a struggling domain begs him to rebuild their mocked, ragtag fire brigade--the "Ragged Kites" (Boro Tobi-gumi)--he dives back into the inferno. Gathering a crew of misfits (ex-sumo wrestlers, acrobats, quirky scholars), he battles mysterious arson fires threatening Edo, turning ridicule into respect one daring rescue at a time. Gritty brotherhood, blazing action, and lives are on the line!
