Neither is aware of a hidden connection through Rie's uncle and father to the Japanese mafia (yakuza).When Rie's terminally ill uncle tries to break into the domestic monopoly on the sale of pachinko machines, a strange twist of fate occurs. When her father tries to sever similar ties with the yakuza by opting not to play a monthly 'gratuity,' he pays a steep price.Finally, the yakuza violates on of it's own cardinal rules, resulting in Rie's alarming disappearance.
