Subscribe FreeA yakuza gangster is exiled to Los Angeles after his crime boss is murdered in a Tokyo gang war. Arriving in L.A. with a big bag of money and a really bad attitude, he hooks up with his half-Brother, the leader of a small-time drug ring. Together with a local street hustler (Epps), the brothers declare war on the other local drug traffickers and ignite the bloodiest, dirtiest, nastiest power struggle the mean streets of L.A. have ever seen.
