Tachibana, a once‑feared Yakuza strategist, is released after ten years for a drug‑fueled killing of a rival boss. He returns to a criminal underworld reshaped by a younger generation’s code of honor. While struggling to retain his influence, he befriends a prostitute, rescues her from an abusive pimp, and provokes a violent clash with the new boss, Sato.
