Alive is an examination of the life of Tenshu Yashiro, a death row convict who survives his execution. He is then given a choice: either repeat the botched electrocution; or, subject himself to a bizarre series of experiments. He chooses the latter and soon after that is placed in a room along with a rapist and a young woman.
