As previously reported, Ikuta Toma will play Suzuki, a man who leaves his job as a schoolteacher in order to infiltrate an underworld organization and take revenge on the person who murdered his girlfriend. Suzuki will meet different assassins, Kujira and Semi, and the story will show how their lives will interlace.
