The trilogy’s second entry finds Maiku Hama now in full color, without a car, cash‑strapped but undeterred and taking on small‑time cases, including searching for missing dogs, only to land squarely in the middle of a turf war on the Yokohama waterfront. When a famed exotic dancer tied to his past resurfaces, the city’s criminal undercurrents threaten to pull him back into danger. Featuring Shirô Sano (TO SLEEP SO AS TO DREAM) and Eiji Okada (WOMAN IN THE DUNES, HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR).
