Description:
Tokyo's really let itself go. The poor get poorer, and the rich get their kicks in clandestine pleasure clubs where no desire is taboo. The decadent criminal underground is the only game in town and life is cheap when paid for in blood money. Burned-out ex-war photographer Saiga thought his life couldn't get any more dull, selling his soul as a tabloid photographer and trading the rush of bulled whizzing past his head for a quick buck.

While on one of these paparazzi assignments, Saiga stumbles directly into the ultimate den of vice, where the Goddess is preparing to bestow a dangerous gift upon a willing victim. Running from his enemies and fleeing his own inner demons, Saiga rescues a tragic young girl named Kagura from her own nightmarish life. The girl is full of secrets... Secrets possibly hidden from even herself.

Smile for the camera... or perish in the glare of its lens.
