LOGLINE: In the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo, an elite assassin breaks his lifelong code to save a woman from certain death. As they join forces against a powerful trafficking ring that’s blackmailing politicians, his growing feelings for her blind him to a devastating truth that will force him to choose between his syndicate loyalty and his reawakening humanity.

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.
