A street war that spans across two countries has erupted. A local Japanese yakuza key player and a Chinese triad member has been slaughtered in a highly coordinated assassination. These events ruffle the feathers of a relationship between the Yakuza and Taiwanese Triad, both of which are close to sealing a deal that could benefit both sides. The ones responsible for the chaos is Riki and his gang. Torn between their own confused roots, these first offspring of Chinese immigrants has no clear ethnicity to identify with. They work for themselves and improve for themselves. The police lieutenant Jojima ruthlessly tries to stop the gang's grand plan while also trying to solve a family crisis.
Love, betrayal, happiness, and destruction rivets through the lives of these characters while total chaos consumes them. In the end, the outcome lies in the blistering duel between Jojima and Riki.
