Description
[Machine Translation] Shanghai, 1934. A young Japanese man, Jiro Gogo, dreams of success in this prosperous and vicious city, which is called the "Magic City. While doing business in the concession, a mysterious woman named Yukie Harada brings him some of the finest opium and poppy seeds. Jiro contacts Yang Zheng, a member of the Shanghai underworld, and is drawn into the opium business. Soon after, the Second Shanghai Incident breaks out in Shanghai. A dark battle unfolds between the Kwantung Army and Aoabang over opium. The Kwantung Army, having discovered that new varieties have been taken out of Manchuria, relentlessly pursues the whereabouts of the stolen opium and poppy seeds. Meanwhile, Jiro and Yang Chao begin cultivating opium poppy in the mountains of Burma, planning to distribute morphine and heroin in and around the Indochina Peninsula. This is the story of the men who flocked to the vast wealth and imperial glory of the opium trade on a continent where the sound of military boots never ceased, and who, like moths drawn to a light, became passionate and burned out.
