The old days of the yakuza are over,” the boss decides, and the gang is dissolved. The henchmen, who became yakuza because they fell in love with their boss, cannot call anyone else “father” anymore, so they start working in a new line of work they are not used to... The main character, Hiroshi, is played by Ryuji Harada. He plays the role of a single-minded and reckless yakuza with sincerity, breaking new ground. Sho Aikawa plays the older brother, Ishikawa. He gives a good performance as a hard-headed and clumsy ex-cop yakuza. The cast also includes Tatsuo Umemiya, Masaru Shiga, Kaori Sakaue, and a variety of others, completing a passionate drama about the life of a man who falls in love with a man and risks his life for him.
