A DARING EXERCISE IN ULTRA-VIOLENT EXTREMES.
Ryuichi is a mobster driven by his desire for power and memories of his lost childhood. His younger brother Toji has just returned from his education in America. Together they will experience the rough life lessons of gangster existence. Meanwhile, Detective Jojima finds himself increasingly drawn into the Yakuza world as he becomes more and more involved in mafia affairs to raise money for a life-saving operation for his daughter.
