The kid is a combat artist who makes his living releasing tapes of his stylised fights, recorded by a flock of floating cameras that follow him around. He gets caught up with a semi-mythical, and supposedly dead, figure who was a founder of the planet on which he lives. In a disappointing ending, he makes an uneasy truce with the new government formed following the revolution which he unknowingly helped begin.
