An upscale Japanese hotel hires Mahiru Inoue, a lawyer adept at dealing with the Yakuza, to help them rid their hotel of the local gangsters so they can get a contract for a meeting of important foreign officials.

A sharp-witted lawyer navigates a minefield of underworld egos to sanitize an upscale hotel for a prestigious international summit. This clever satire trades blunt violence for the rhythmic, tactical maneuvering of a woman outsmarting the Yakuza.
