A dark, psychologically turbulent gay romance built on toxic codependency, violence, and the dangerous allure of a criminal underworld.

Mitsuo Ichikawa reconnects with his former schoolmate and mentor, only to discover he's a thug and a murderer. Instead of distancing themselves, they forge a new alliance.
