In Shinjuku, Tokyo in 2005, there was an undercurrent in the underground mahjong playing field. Kitagawa Hayato, who was once a substitute player in the professional league, was banned for life due to a framed match-fixing. In order to repay his mother's medical expenses, he became a broker between dark houses and capital. The mahjong tile-shaped scar at the corner of his left eye was the mark left by his refusal to play black cards - but now it has become a sign of "knowing the rules" in underground gambling.
A 500 million yen banzhuang battle reunited him with his former fellow disciple Yusuke Miyamoto. Miyamoto is already the core agent of the underworld. The missing position of his right ear hides the price of losing the game. The "puppet technique" on his fingertips can convey the secret code of the cards in his hand through gestures. At the card table, Kitagawa relied on his card-reading skills to deconstruct Miyamoto's trap, but in the fourth round of the South, he discovered that the capital behind this bet was actually related to the president of the professional league who framed him.
His ex-lover Matsushima Nanako is a league referee and secretly delivers evidence of loopholes in the refereeing system; the organ mortgage contract in the factory, the tampered treasure sign, the mechanism of the electromagnetic dice... Under layers of darkness, every card Kitagawa touches is connected to life and death. When there were only four cards left on the card wall, he turned the tide of the battle with a "Guo Shi Wushuang" hand, but he understood: winning this game was just the beginning of tearing open the abscess in the agent playing industry - and the real card to listen to was the redemption voice of thousands of "Beichuan" hidden behind the sticks and contracts.
This is a game of survival on the mahjong table, and it is also a way for those at the bottom to listen to cards and break through in the trap of capital.
