Plot
From Takashi Miike's Acclaimed Masterpiece: The Black Society Trilogy

The second film of Miike's Black Society Trilogy continues the theme of alienation, as an outcast yakuza Yuji, lives as a hit man on the fringes of the Taiwanese criminal world.

When a former one-night stand catches up with him, he is unexpectedly saddled with what may be his real son, A sense of responsibility is born in Yuji, as he uses his lethal skills in an attempt to find some sort of haven for his new family.

In this lean and mean movie, full of twists, shocks, and violent death, Miike finds a glimmer of hope in the need for us all to care for something.
