Masaki, a baseball player and gas-station attendant, gets into trouble with the local Yakuza and goes to Okinawa to get a gun to defend himself. There he meets Uehara, a tough gangster, who is in serious debt to the yakuza and planning revenge.

Takeshi Kitano radiates a terrifying, quiet stillness that makes every sudden burst of violence feel inevitable. This sun-drenched journey toward an Okinawa arsenal turns a simple quest for protection into a tense collision of desperate men.
