Plot
A wealthy Yakuza boss has arranged for the early prison release of Togawa, played by Joe Shishido, who has been serving time for having taken revenge on the man whose reckless driving has consigned his sister, Rei, to a wheelchair. Togawa has no chance to go straight as he is immediately coerced by the mob boss into organizing the hijacking of an armored car carrying 127 million yen in racetrack proceeds. The crime boss promises Togawa a cut which will allow Togawa to pay for surgery to help his sister to walk. After assembling a ragtag crew to undertake the robbery, Togawa must now pull off the hijacking and navigate through unanticipated developments and a series of double crosses arising from all sides.
