Synopsis

Survivors of atrocities in Cambodia, Akira Hojo and Chiaki Asami return to Japan with a shared resolve to reach the top and remake a country they believe has lost its direction. Hojo pursues power through the underworld, while Asami enters politics.

Their outwardly separate careers conceal a partnership linking street-level influence with official authority. Challenging established bosses and political interests, they pursue their promised sanctuary with methods that expose how ruthless their idealism has become.
