Dead ball

Reformatory yard. Bleak sun. A baseball, blood-red. Jubeh Yakyu arrives, his past a legend of violence, his future forfeit. The Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory teems with brutal inmates and a Nazi-fetishist headmistress, all eager to break him. Yamaguchi’s splatterpunk farce is not for purists.
