Synopsis
Ex-cop turned taxi-driver/assassin Yajima kills nightly to pay daughter's hospital bills and vent his rage.
A former police officer that became a taxi driver, Yajima leads a double life. During the day, he transports clients in the hope of earning enough to cover his daughter Maiko's hospital bills; at night he dons the mask of a professional assassin. Cold and calculating, Yajima commits murder after murder, but not only to earn money for his daughter. Through blood and violence, he also seems to want to free himself of the anger he feels towards the world. Sex, lies and brutality reign over in the city where this new demon assassin spreads his wings.
