Shortly after his release, gang boss Mikami (Eiichi Furui) asks Himuro to join the crew of his sworn brother, Kawatani (Hitoshi Ozawa). However, Omiya (Kazuyoshi Ozawa), who values the old-school yakuza code and respects Mikami, grows increasingly displeased with Himuro's casual shift of allegiance.
