Synopsis
This is the story of a rebellious young man who is trapped in a violent existence and nevertheless tries to do what he feels is right. The main character is a member of a yakuza gang who is quick to strike back at things he dislikes and just as quick to correct what he sees to be wrong. His struggle to define and uphold his own code of ethics makes for a deeply searching drama that is far removed from "feel-good" stories about family and parent-child relationships. -- TBS
