She is a former colleague of the man, from when they worked together in a shady prostitution ring run by a yakuza gang. Told that she should apologize to the gang if she didn't want her husband to find out about her past, the woman goes to the yakuza gang as instructed, but is naturally imprisoned. When the man learns that his wife has been taken from him, he single-handedly takes on the gang to rescue the woman he loves…
