The Journey to Killing You

Kinji Kataoka (Masanari Wada) is a young yakuza boss whose men follow him because he treats loyalty as an obligation running both ways. After a violent incident turns him into a liability, he is pulled off the board and ordered into hiding by Keito Kirii (Shintaro Yuya), the family head's son, and given a driver and handler for the road: Ren Odajima (Hiroto Takahashi), a quiet, watchful subordinate. What Kataoka does not know is that Odajima left the same room with a second, unwritten instruction, to kill him.

Odajima has been waiting seven years for an opening like this. The grudge he carries predates the assignment, and the road trip hands him chances: long drives, borrowed safe houses, sleepless nights. Living at close quarters with the person he intends to kill, he keeps running into a Kataoka who does not match the one in his memory, and the cold arrangement between them starts turning into something he cannot name. Kaiho Asahi (Kaito Hori), Genichiro Kumakura (Keisuke Teranaka) and Eiji Ichinose (Toi Nakabayashi) keep the organisation's pressure closing in behind the road.
