In the northern fishing port town, the taciturn Xiuzhi (played by Ken Takakura) and his wife Fuyuko (played by Itsuki Ayumi) live a quiet life. Although they have lived here for more than ten years, even Xiuzhi's closest friends know little about his past. Xiuzhi was a fierce general of the Osaka Yasha Group. When he was in his prime, his only sister was killed by a rival gang. From then on, he changed his name and brought his wife to this town to make a living by fishing. One day, the beautiful woman Hotaru (played by Yuko Tanaka) came to the town to open a firefly bar. The fishermen flocked to the town and cheered warmly. Hotaru's man Yajima (played by Takeshi Kitano) was rude and rude, with gambling and drugs. He lured the fishermen to indulge in gambling and drugs, and clashed with Xiuzhi who dissuaded him, which eventually led to Xiuzhi's gangster identity being exposed in public. On the other hand, Xiuzhi also fell into an obsession with Hotaru, and his peaceful life was disturbed again...
