A statement about our wonderfully greedy world. Inspired by an anecdote from the booming Tokyo of the 80s, the film tells the glamorous story of the vicious property shark Akio Kashiwagi. His passion is illegal gambling in the underworld. An American is on his trail, but Akio's greatest enemy is his own insatiable greed.

Una dichiarazione al nostro mondo meravigliosamente avido. Ispirato a un aneddoto della Tokyo in piena espansione degli anni '80, il film racconta la storia affascinante dello squalo immobiliare senza scrupoli Akio Kashiwagi. La sua passione è il gioco d'azzardo illegale nella malavita. Un americano è sulle sue tracce, ma il più grande nemico di Akio è la sua stessa insaziabile avidità.
