After being exiled from Tokyo, a yakuza gangster (Takeshii "Beat" Kitano, Fireworks [Hana-Bi], Sonatine) arrives in Los Angeles with a big bag of money and a really bad attitude. He hooks up with his half-brother, the leader of small-time drug ring, and together with a local street hustler (Omar Epps, Love and the Basketball), the brothers declare war on the other local drug traffickers, and igniting the bloodiest and dirtiest power struggle the mean streets of L.A. have ever seen.
