Koi is as quick and lethal as any enforcer the yakuza syndicate has in its ranks. But despite her prowess, Koi wants out. Koi’s bosses won't simply let her walk away with clan secrets. To resign with honor, Koi is sent on one last mission, to hunt down and kill the elusive French gunrunner, known by Interpol as Le Sauvage. The Savage holds the final clue to a cache of gold hidden in Osaka. Koi finds herself in a race to intercept a ruthless arms merchant or risk losing the only man who can keep her alive.
