Reportedly, Makoto Edamura is Japan's most accomplished fraudster. Collaborating with his companion Kudo, they strive to deceive a French individual in Asakusa, but contrary to their plan, they fall victim to a scam. The Frenchman they intended to swindle is no other than Laurent Thierry, who operates at a more sophisticated level as a master confidence trickster with control over the criminal underworld. Edamura is still unaware of the impending peril he faces having now become involved with the Frenchman's illicit activities.
