Oda (Yasukaze Motomiya) is a young construction entrepreneur—but he also leads a vigilante group dedicated to eliminating the corruption festering in Kyoto. One day, he becomes entangled in a public works power struggle involving a construction company backed by the Ashikaga-kai, the largest crime syndicate in Kansai. With the help of former police detective Terao (Susumu Terajima) and the nationalist group Dai-Nippon Kikusui-kai, Oda launches a fierce battle to protect Kyoto from the encroaching underworld.
