It's 1991. Gay American Conner has found refuge in Tokyo after a rough coming out. But a spectacular economic meltdown has crushed Japan's high-flying dreams, and now Tokyo is going sour for Conner, too. He's turned to crime to bail out an ex-boyfriend, he's alienating friends and he's started sleeping with a woman. When a crime scheme goes south, he scours Tokyo's dimly lit night scene for a solution. Conner and fellow refuge-seeker Mariko, who has fled a failing suburban marriage, agree to a shady caper that may save or doom them both. As gangsters, grifters and police close in, the two must grapple with questions of crime and honesty, and to whom-- and whose laws-- they should be loyal.
