A bleak, nihilistic portrait of a high school gang leader trapped in a system of violence and emptiness, grappling with the meaninglessness of power and belonging.

Soon after being named the new leader of his high school's gang system, Kujo grows bored with the violence and hatred that surround him. He wants desperately to abandon his post… but his once-enviable position of power has a strange way of making him feel powerless.
