Synopsis:
Set against the backdrop of 1985 Yokosuka, the story follows Ryo Hazuki, a young man deeply devoted to his martial arts training. His life is irrevocably altered when his father is murdered and a powerful artifact called the "mirror" is stolen by a shadowy figure named Lan Di. Driven by grief and a thirst for answers, Ryo embarks on a relentless quest to uncover the truth behind his father's death.
This journey takes him far beyond his hometown, drawing him into a complex web of clandestine organizations vying for control. As Ryo navigates dangerous landscapes from Japan to Hong Kong, he must hone his skills and confront powerful enemies in pursuit of justice. The narrative explores themes of loss, vengeance, and the struggle against overwhelming forces, all within a visually rich and atmospheric setting reminiscent of late 20th-century urban landscapes.
