## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Neon alleys. Perpetual night. A dripping faucet. The Yakuza Nogi consolidates power through murder and marriage, only to face a lethal reckoning. Chiaki’s half-sister Ikko adopts the mantle of the Black Angel. Her mission: revenge.

Ishii delivers a stylish, blood-soaked neo-noir.

**Mood tags**: gut-punch, neon-soaked, raw
