Synopsis: Nishi (Takeshi Kitano) is a determined impassive man whose face occasionally ripples with an involuntary tic, hinting at the explosive but contained forces within. His wife is dying of leukemia, a disease that has already taken their daughter's life. He cares for her with a shattering tenderness, devising a bank robbery in order to pay off loan sharks and take her on one final vacation. While on a stakeout, Nishi takes a break to check in on her, and while he's gone his partner is crippled and another officer is killed. With death hovering at home and a score to settle outside, Nishi sets off on an isolated course to seek personal justice.
