When she discovers that the man is already dead, she loses the will to live. But fate wants her to meet Tatsumi, a rising star within the Horikawa family clan. She soon falls in love with him and his Yakuza lifestyle. But when Tatsumi is appointed as the new boss of the family, his brother Morito angers his brother, and he kills Tatsumi with the help of a mysterious man behind the scenes.
