Description:

In this gritty crime drama set in Japan, an established yakuza gang finds themselves forced to flee their familiar grounds in Yokohama following an intense power struggle with a far more dominant Tokyo-based syndicate. With no choice but to relocate and rebuild from scratch, the displaced group sets roots on the picturesque island of Okinawa, hoping for a fresh start. However, the past tends to follow those entrenched in its world, and as tensions rise and rivalries escalate, the once-exiled gang finds themselves drawn back into a violent cycle that threatens not only their own survival but also the fragile peace of their newfound home. A powerful examination of loyalty, identity, and the cost of redemption, this film takes viewers on a visceral journey through the dark underbelly of organized crime in Japan's idyllic landscapes.
