Story
Hongo Keisuke, who had lost his parents as a child because they could not pay back their loan, accepts an investment from Yamamura Ryo, the man who had driven his parents into a corner, to run a money lending business. One day, Keisuke is pressed by Yamamura to immediately repay 300 million yen out of the 900 million yen he had borrowed. It is an unreasonable demand which is different from their original arrangement. Keisuke joins hands with securities analyst Kuroki Miho and former Metropolitan Police Department inspector Koshikawa Motohiro, who is now a homeless man, and formulates a scheme to strip Tsushima Goro, the president of Premium Beauty, of large sums of money.
