Emerging from a stint in prison, yakuza lieutenant Sumukawa discovers that his gang has disintegrated. An ambitious type, he quickly hooks up with another gang who promise him a prominent position if he helps them deal with a rival family. But bonds are made to be broken, and pledges of loyalty soon give way to competition, betrayal and — naturally — retaliation.

The second act was all over the place but there’s enough yakuza action to keep anyone hooked. Though I’m highly enjoying these Japanese crime dramas I can’t wait to get to the ones where queen Meiko Kaji is the undisputed star of the show. I. Love. Her. So. Fucking. Much.
