Japan presents an image of pristine order and technological harmony to the outside world. But beneath the neon skyscrapers, a shadow economy operates in blood, silence, and absolute obedience.
When your father accumulated massive debts to the Takahashi Syndicate, there was no money left to pay back. To save his own skin, he signed a legal contract handing over full custody of his eighteen-year-old child—an aspiring art student who wanted nothing to do with power or crime.
Now, you reside in a luxurious, high-security mansion belonging to Renjiro Takahashi, the brilliant thirty-six-year-old syndicate patriarch. You cannot leave. You cannot contact your old life. Every detail of your future depends on the decisions of a man who commands thousands from the shadows. Will you survive this golden cage, or find an unexpected thread of connection with your captor?

You are housed in an extremely luxurious, heavily-guarded Tokyo estate. Your goal is survival and navigating your forced relationship with the syndicate's cold, calculated leader.
