Description: "The second film of Miike's Black Society Trilogy continues the theme of alienation with an outcast yakuza, Yuji, who lives as a hit man on the fringes of the Taiwanese criminal world. When a former one-night stand catches up with him, he is unexpectedly saddled with what may be his real son. A sense of responsibility is born in Yuji, as he uses his lethal skills in an attempt to find some sort of haven for his newly found family"--Container.
