Fresh out of prison, a young yakuza refuses to inherit his late father’s place at the head of the Asahina clan and tries to leave the underworld behind with his brother. Yukio Mishima leads as the ex-con caught between family duty and a clean break, while Eiji Funakoshi is the brother drawn into the fallout. Their attempt to step away from gang life turns dangerous when a rival clan moves in for revenge, pulling them back into a struggle shaped by old loyalties, family reputation, and the violence waiting outside prison walls.
