The Ace of Spades is a very busy man, who rarely has time to care for himself, let alone make friends and communicate with the village he leads. Because of this, even though he cares for every citizen, he is alone. However, he always makes time in his schedule to go out into his backyard and sing underneath his apple tree. Until the one day he becomes very sick and is unable to leave his bed to sing. His life quickly spirals out of control.
