Muraki (Ryō Ikebe) is a yakuza hitman just out of prison, coming home to a gang world whose balance of power has shifted while he was gone. At an illegal gambling parlor he notices Saeko (Mariko Kaga), a young woman who loses large sums and keeps asking him to find games with bigger stakes. Masahiro Shinoda follows the two of them through the parlors at night, Saeko leaning toward the table, Muraki standing quiet beside her.
