Description
A contemporary Japanese crime thriller unravels an intricate web of deception and greed, inspired by recent land-fraud scandals.
Takumi, grieving the tragic loss of his family, is drawn into a real-estate swindle masterminded by fabled land scammer Harrison Yamanaka. The target is an unprecedented $70-million property.
During his pursuit, Detective Tatsu, upright as ever but nearing retirement, discovers Harrison's strange connection to Takumi's past. As the high-stakes fraud unfolds, the convergence of motives leads to a shocking outcome in this intense game of deception versus truth.
Tokyo Swindlers is a gripping exploration of deceit and the relentless pursuit of justice.
