The official website introduces the game's story, set 15 years since the end of the nuclear war. People who managed to survive have built colonies in various parts of the devastated world – however, the concept of a country has been lost and the powerful people who govern the colonies now control the politics and laws. One colony established on the coast is a city ruled by the Shadow Warriors gang and since they took control, the gap between rich and poor in the colony has intensified. The people living in the slums have been forced to live a hard life, and there are constant rumors of Mysterious Disappearances.

The Lee brothers, masters of the Sosetsuken, live in a corner of such a city along with their childhood friend, Marian. When honest younger brother Billy and free-spirited older brother jimmy find the Sosetsuken dojo they inherit ending in the way of the city's evil schemes, the story begins...
