An ensemble drama unrestrainedly depicting the desires and lunacy of young people intoxicated by violence against the backdrop of Matsuyama City in Ehime Prefecture. Yellow Kid director, Mariko Tetsuya, makes his commercial film debut.
Ashiwara Taira (Yagira Yuya), who lives with his younger brother, does nothing but brawl morning, noon, and night. One day, Kitahara Yuya (Suda Masaki) sees Taira picking a fight in the middle of town, and taking an interest, gets acquainted with Taira. The two go to the outskirts of the city, forcing nightclub hostess, Nana (Komatsu Nana), to join them.
