Shuji is an uncompromising young filmmaker at odds with Japanese society. One day he learns that his loan shark brother, who had helped to finance his films, has been executed by his own yakuza gang for failing to repay his debts. The responsibility now falls on Shuji. He decides that the only way to pay off the debt is to become a human punching bag. For a price per punch, gang members can hit Shuji’s six-pack until he can’t take anymore. Shuji withstands the beatings by thinking lovingly of his favorite films.
