Plot

Akira Kiyota (Ryusuke Nakamura), an ordinary salesman with poor performance and heavy consumer-loan debt, feels crushed by the harshness of reality—far from his wild days as a former biker gang leader. One night, while entertaining clients at a club, Kiyota loses his temper and punches a customer. The club happens to be protected by his high school classmate Kenji Hosokawa (Sho Ikushima).
