This takes place in a world where alchemy is possible and performed by people, known as alchemists, manipulating things by willing it. Edward and Alphonse Elric go on a search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone to restore their bodies after an alchemy accident destroyed them.
The rules of alchemy state that to gain something, one must lose something of equal value. Alchemy is the process of taking apart and reconstructing objects into a different entities, with the rules of alchemy to govern this procedure. However, there exists an object that can bring any alchemist above these rules, which is known as the Philosopher's Stone. The young Edward Elric is a particularly talented alchemist who through an accident years back lost his younger brother Alphonse and one of his legs. Sacrificing one of his arms as well, he used alchemy to bind his brother's soul to a suit of armor. This lead to the beginning of their journey to restore their bodies, in search for the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
