Synopsis:

Yokohama's streets are dominated by warring biker gangs, a landscape of fractured alliances and simmering tensions. At the center of this volatile environment is Hiromi Katayama, a respected 17-year-old leader known for both formidable combat skills and a strict personal code. When Toshi Ikeda, an eager newcomer seeking to prove his loyalty, joins Katayama's gang, he makes a bold promise: to remain peaceful for his probationary period. However, Ikeda’s impulsive nature draws him into escalating conflict, inadvertently igniting a larger power struggle between the gangs of Kanagawa and the ambitious Dragon Star Crew from Nagoya. The series explores themes of honor, loyalty, and the consequences of upholding ideals in a world defined by violence, as Katayama navigates the growing threat to her city and the fragile peace she strives to maintain.
