Akagi Shigeru (Hongo Kanata) is a young, white-haired mahjong genius. One summer in 1965, he ends up facing off against Washizu Iwao (Tsugawa Masahiko), Japan’s King of Darkness who has amassed enormous fortune and power, at the request of his acquaintance, the rogue detective Yasuoka (Jinbo Satoshi). As the observer, Ogi Takeshi (Tanaka Yoji), a leader of the henchmen of Inada-gumi watches over them, mahjong with special rules called Washizu Mahjong begins.
