Dissatisfied with life in a clan without jingi (duty and humanity), he drifts further into frustration. One day, Masuba encounters a monk begging on the roadside. The monk warns him: “Be careful.

   Detective Masaki (Koji) happens upon a chilling scene: Gedobo (Hitoshi Ozawa) leading the vile yakuza Tamura to his death. Shocked but trusting his instincts as an investigator, Masaki begins to pursue the “mysterious monk.” Together with his partner Nagasawa, Masaki defies orders from above, chasing after shadows.
