Stunned and unconvinced by his change of career, Sakamoto’s former rivals and partners refuse to believe he has put his hitman days behind him and show up at the store intent on killing him. Sakamoto’s vow to stop killing means he has to find new and creative ways to stop his enemies to protect his family and store.
