An exceptional triangular relationship, involving two men and a woman, unfolds against the backdrop of a kidnapping by two clumsy provincial yakuza. Conflicting emotions casually match in a light-hearted way, but on the far side of ill-fated desires looms inescapable bloodshed. Or will the charming role played by a pair of turtles bring about the longed for redemption?
