    • In a world where killers are ranked, all snipers have their scopes focused on one another. Hanada (Joe Shishido) is a gun-for-hire listed as the No.3 hit-man of the underworld. During a job worth \5 million, he successfully takes out two of his rivals, securing his position as No. 2. But success as a contracted killer comes at a high price - when he fumbles with his job, he becomes the target.
