Description
Two boys abandoned at birth in train station lockers spend their youth in an orphanage and with foster parents before setting out to find and destroy the women who first rejected them.
Drawn to Toxitown, they embark on separate journeys, one becoming a rock singer in an exotic demimonde, while the other seeks revenge with his girlfriend Anemone, who has transformed her condominium into a tropical swamp for her pet crocodile.
A brutal and savage journey unfolds as these two men navigate their way from a hot metal box to a stunning climax, through the eerie landscape of late-twentieth-century Japan.
