Mahjong is a game commonly played with family and friends but also in the underworld. Nangou, a compulsive gambler, has accrued debt of over three million yen and decides to wager his life on a mahjong game with the mafia in an attempt to clear his record. However, as the game progresses, Nangou moves further away from winning and closer to death. Just when all hope seems lost, Shigeru Akagi, a young boy on the run from the police, bursts into the game parlor. Desperate to turn things around, Nangou hands over the game to Akagi after teaching him some of the rules. The mafia watches in amusement as Akagi takes his seat and begins to play. However, they soon realize that Akagi is a natural-born gambler who does not fear death and is destined for greatness.
