A tragedy caused by a coin. While riding the bus, Rorschach discovers that one of his coins has vanished. It should be an ordinary occurrence, but he senses something is amiss. The next morning, the news reports an inexplicable case: a small mountain of coins has appeared out of nowhere beneath an overpass on the outskirts of town, and inside it is the body of a homeless man who was crushed to death by coins.
After that, all sorts of strange things begin happening around Rorschach. When a mysterious figure calling himself Maxwell appears, an entirely new world unfolds before him.
