Samatoki is tasked with eliminating the drug dealers who have moved in onto his gang's turf. He finds that his fellow teammate, Jyuto Iruma, is also investigating Grasshopper for the police, and the two decide to team up to find the origins of the substance.

The youngest brother, Saburou, immediately suspects that something is amiss about Jirou's friend, but Ichirou cannot abandon someone in need. As the two teams delve further into their separate investigations, they encounter old friends and enemies.
