Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
When a police crackdown forces one of Tokyo's most powerful yakuza clans to cease operation, a few determined criminals vow to cling to power at any cost in this bloody crime drama from cult director Yasuharu Hasebe. Hunted by police and targeted for extinction by a mysterious killer, the fearless lone holdouts launch a brutal campaign to take over the city's thriving black market. With two forces fighting to take control of Tokyo's drug, gambling, and prostitution markets, the streets are about to become a war zone where no one is safe and everyone has a price.
