A playful crime-comedy built on mistaken identity and theatrical deception, where a desperate hustler's con spirals into absurdist chaos involving yakuza, fake assassins, and the blurred line between performance and reality.

A hustler who gets in trouble with a gang boss in the port town of Sukago agrees to make good with the don by putting him in contact with a mysterious hitman — an assassin the hustler has no idea how to contact. Instead, he hires an actor to play the role, though the thespian has no idea what he's getting into.
