On a sweltering summer day in Tokyo, young detective Murakami has his pistol stolen on a crowded bus. Desperate to recover it, he teams up with veteran detective Sato. Their investigation leads them into the city’s underbelly, where Murakami discovers the thief is a disillusioned ex-soldier driven to crime by poverty. The film blends suspense, social critique, and a meditation on guilt and redemption in post-war Japan.
