＜Stage Play 'ZERO RISE' Synopsis＞

A dog-eat-dog competitive society.

Especially in sports, one is required to be a clean and upright winner, and failure is not tolerated.

Madoka, once a promising star in junior high school basketball, loses everything after a certain "accident" in a game and disappears from the public eye.

Then, a turning point comes for Madoka: 'ZERO RISE'.

An underground street basketball league where winners are given the right to rise back to the public stage.

However, powerful rivals from Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, and Shibuya stand in his way.
