Ash Lynx, the adopted heir of crime lord "Papa" Dino Golzine, rejected Papa's kingdom and formed his own gang at the age of seventeen. One night, a dying man gives a tiny vial to Ash. Its mysterious contents lead him into conflict with Papa's mafia, provide a clue to his brother's post-Vietnam madness, and lead him to make the acquaintance of a young Japanese photographer.
