Synopsis
Yoshii lives in Tokyo and resells goods on the internet as a side hustle while working in a factory. When Yoshii takes his reselling gig to the next level and quits his day job, he and his girlfriend leave the city for a house in the country. There it seems that Yoshii is being targeted by an unknown assailant. But with a profession that traffics in pissing a lot of people off, which of his enemies has it out for him?
