Plot summary
Bandai runs a disco that is falling apart after Japan's bubble economy collapses, and he owes the local yakuza money he cannot repay. Robbing the gangsters is his solution. He recruits a team of men who are also struggling: Junichi Mitsuya, a gay hustler who comes to his club; Kaname Hizu, a former cop down on his luck; Shohei Ogiwara, a salaryman; and Jimmy, a Thai pimp. Their plan is to take a large sum from the yakuza. The heist is hastily arranged and goes awkwardly. The yakuza begin tracking the thieves and hire contract killers to hunt them down.
