In the wake of a scandal, Arato Nikkuni is demoted from his elite government job and transferred to the remote island of Izumosuito. There he encounters the grand casino CRUD, and its young yakuza boss, Yuki Tensho. Inexplicably drawn to one another, their beliefs clash, and the two soon become embroiled in a life-or-death power struggle. On top of it all, Izumosuito happens to be home to a powerful supernatural force, sealed away at the bottom of the sea... CRUD is the first play produced by Yu Akahoshi's theater troupe, Zero Terra.
