In post-war Japan, a detective named Sato faces a case that will force him to navigate through a sea of corruption and hopelessness. As he investigates the theft of a revolver from his own police station, Sato feels increasingly cornered, as that weapon could be involved in a much larger crime: a series of murders in the city. What begins as a search for the lost weapon turns into an obsession with catching the culprits and restoring his honor as a police officer.
As the plot unfolds, Sato moves through the dusty streets and forgotten corners of Tokyo, where he encounters a series of colorful characters, from a clever con artist to a desperate young mother. The atmosphere is thick, reflecting the chaos and disillusionment of a society struggling to rebuild itself. As Sato delves deeper into this dark world, the line between good and evil becomes increasingly blurred, leading him to question his own morality and the system he represents.
In a race against time, he must not only recover the weapon but also confront his own demons. Set against the backdrop of a ravaged Japan, the story becomes a powerful portrayal of the struggle for redemption, justice, and survival in a world where everything seems lost.
