The excerpts follow Jack, a cynical vigilante known as Repairman Jack, as he is pulled deeper into an ancient metaphysical war against the 14,000-year-old evil entity referred to as the Adversary (Rasalom). Jack’s primary mission is to recover the legendary Gaijin Masamune katana, an immensely dangerous Japanese sword that inspires violence and is simultaneously sought by a yakuza faction and the mysterious cult known as the Kakureta Kao. Complicating matters, Jack must also locate a young pregnant woman named Dawn, whose unborn baby is called the "Key to the Future" and is the primary target of several apocalyptic groups, including the Kickers. The converging interests lead to a massive battle and the chaotic unleashing of the deadly, life-sapping Kuroikaze (Black Wind) by the cultists on Staten Island. Ultimately, Jack stops the Kuroikaze and secures the powerful weapon, but he is too late to prevent the pregnant Dawn from being taken captive by the Adversary.
