Synopsis:
When his police detective best friend is killed, down-at-heel private eye and part-time blues singer BJ (Yusaku Matsuda, The Game Trilogy) gets the blame. He must start his own investigation to clear his name, but what he uncovers is a tangled web involving crooked cops, drug-dealing gangsters, the city's underground gay and biker scenes, and even his own past. A loose remake of Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye that also draws from Visconti's Death in Venice , this was Matsuda's break with his action hero image. Samurai movie veteran Eiichi Kudo ( The Fort of Death ) relishes his chance at directing a neo-noir that captures urban Japan at the height of 1980s decadence.
