Sho Aikawa's character has a new mission: to target the head of the yakuza organization with which he grappled in A Visit from Fate. But five years later, he is still working undercover at a dead-end job with a low-level gang; in order to identify the real person in charge, he must become increasingly complicit with the organization he wants to destroy.
