After serving a year in solitary, Nick Davis takes a forklift job at a harbor warehouse run by Yakuza patriarch Isshin Tendo. When the Italian Mafia, led by Dino Campanela, attacks, Nick saves Shuji Sawamoto, the Yakuza’s American liaison. Shuji inducts Nick into the clan, but Nick is actually an FBI undercover agent.
