Tokyo, A.D. 2063: the Yakuza warlord Hideaki has seized total control of Honshū's
underworld while ruthlessly crushing all opposition. But his true dream is the
overthrow of the government itself. Japan's hard-line military junta will do
anything to stop him and they have found the ultimate pawn to set their plan in
motion: Renjiro, the chief advisor to the notorious gangster. Caught between a
lifetime of honour and loyalty to his Yakuza clan and the iron-fisted might of the
military elite, Renjiro will find that the only way to stop a civil war and avoid total
annihilation is to play both sides against the middle.
