Synopsis:
Beneath the seemingly calm facade of Fukuoka lies a hidden network of shadowy figures: assassins, investigators, and those who dispense vigilante justice. Zenji Banba, a detective with a detached demeanor, navigates this underworld, observing the activities of various hitman organizations. His investigations intersect with Xianming Lin, a hitman working for one such organization, growing increasingly disillusioned by stagnant assignments and insufficient compensation.
When a recent assignment falls through and his employer refuses payment, Lin seeks a new opportunity – to eliminate Banba, whom they suspect of disrupting their operations. However, the confrontation takes an unexpected turn. Instead of violence, Lin proposes an alliance, inviting Banba to collaborate. This proposition sets the stage for a complex relationship, exploring themes of loyalty, ambition, and the blurred lines between right and wrong within Fukuoka's clandestine society. The narrative explores the potential reshaping of the city’s underworld through this unlikely partnership.
