Plot
Tatsuhito is a Shinjuku cop whose bloodstream has the racial combination of the warring gangs, the Japanese yakuza and Chinese triad, that he pursues. Tatsuhito is a man whose heart has hardened, clearly demonstrated in an early scene when a pretty female suspect he is interrogating jokingly hops onto a table, spreads her legs, and makes a crude invitation. His answer? Well, he pummels her head with a chair. Dirty Harry Calahan on his most ornery day wouldn't come close to doing that.
Tatsuhito's brother, Yoshito, is supposed to be the families shining star but instead falls in league with a Taiwanese gang, lead by a ruthless figure named Wang, that Tatsuhito has been chasing. After he escorts a poisoner to Tapei, Tatsuhito sticks around and digs up some dirt on Wang who has been funding a hospital in the run down town. Wang is using the hospital as a front for in dealing black market organs. When Yoshito goes missing, Tatsuhito goes on a rampage to get his brother away from Wang's clutches. But, does his brother want to be saved?
