Bloody and propulsive, this is an adrenalin burst of action, revenge and female solidarity set against the misogynist gangland world of the yakuza. We follow outsider Shindo, as she is blackmailed into working for the Mob, and forced to protect the boss's daughter, Shoko. Relentlessly abused by the men around them, Shindo and Shoko become visceral expressions of power, fighting for each other's survival. Graphic, shocking and exhilarating.
But at this moment, Shindo felt it keenly, for the first time in her life. She was no good. There was no room for her in a peaceful world that other, normal humans held together like a bunch of children playing house. Even now, after everything that happened, she chased after the violence. Her muscles twitched with energy more primitive than any ape-man swinging a club in a cave. She has been born too late. Way too late. Shindo could barely look a normal person in the eye. The normal people went about their normal lives, maintaining the peace, a peace she threatened to destroy. People like her were born to die fighting. She had no choice.
