Neon-soaked Tokyo hides a predator in a suit—who's really hunting who?
Tokyo at night. It has another face, different from the daytime. Gorgeous neon lights and dressed-up women decorate the city at night. And then, there are men who live off of these women. This movie depicts the conflict of sex and desire between a procurer, called a "night arranger," and women who live in the neon city seeking money and pleasure.
