Synopsis : Momofuku Hanazawa is a man with a problem. He loves Hanafuda, a Japanese card game, but he always loses. His losing streak has created a mountain of debt to Torakichi Takida, the older yakuza who runs Hanazawa’s favorite gambling hall. Takida is not one to be indebted to, and Hanazawa finds that he is playing a dangerous game.
Takida has his own problems. His beautiful lover and his trusted henchman may be having an affair. To allay his fears, Takida calls in a heartless private investigator to follow the couple. With "love", "lust" and "honor" in play, it's still anyone's game.
The characters go "all-in" as Takida demands Hanazawa repay his debts and the investigator takes matters into his own hands. Who will have the winning hand in this high-stakes gamble? |
