Broke, with his vintage Nash convertible repossessed, private eye Mike Hama is reduced to combing the mean streets of the Yokohama waterfront on a borrowed bicycle. But when Lily, a beautiful stripper from out of Hama's past, returns to town, the fuse is lit on a criminal powder keg set to blow the lid off the Yokohama underworld.

the white man:
kid, staying alive is not that easy. death has an order about it. the first ones to die are the spirited ones, then the idealistic ones, and then the strong. the ones who survive are the weak, the cowardly, and the nasty.
