LOGLINE: Haunted by killing his abusive father as a child, a conflicted assassin breaks syndicate code to protect a woman marked for death. But as he hunts a kompromat ring exploiting women to blackmail politicians, his growing feelings for her blind him to who she really is.

BACKGROUND: Based on our experiences working in Tokyo during our documentary “Beneath the Blossoms.” We drew inspiration from the city’s underworld and Japan’s dark and little-known Fuzoku industry.
