After the left-wing radical student leader Aizawa was imprisoned, the organization was leaderless. Aizawa's girlfriend Masami took charge of the overall situation, which caused mutual suspicion among the members of the organization. One day, it was suddenly reported that Aizawa committed suicide in prison. The organization's belief instantly collapsed. The tension that had been brewing for a long time was about to explode. The traitorous members were brutally retaliated and bloodbathed. This film is set against the backdrop of the heyday of the New Left Movement in Japan in the 1970s. Through brutal killings and torture that are difficult to watch directly, this film shows the bottomless darkness and cruelty when human nature is out of control.
