- Summary:
- After making his name in the samurai genre, filmmaker Hideo Gosha (Three Outlaw Samurai, Samurai Wolf) turned his camera to the world of the yakuza and the violent streets they control. Gangster-turned-actor Noboru Ando plays Egawa, a retired yakuza underboss who gets pulled back into a life of crime when some of his old cronies demand control of his nightclub. Meanwhile, a gang war quietly roiling behind the scenes spontaneously erupts in response to a high-profile kidnapping, raising the stakes of Egawa's return to the underworld
