A documentary closely chronicling the process of running for the Shinjuku Ward Legislative Assembly by Lee Komaki, a man who worked over 20 years as a customer solicitor for restaurants and brothels in Shinjuku's red light district of Kabukicho.
Lee is attempting to become Japan's first "Chinese-born politician".

With faith in democracy, Lee becomes eligible to run for office and his activities will lay bare "democracy" and furthermore "Japan".
