In 1926, an artist saves his elder brother "White Fox" Tetsu from his double-crossing Yakuza associates, killing a man in the process. The pair go on the lam, hoping to go to escape to Manchuria. A grifter scams them out of their money, and they begin working on a construction crew, trying to make enough money to get over to Manchuria. It isn't long before each brother gets himself into trouble, or their past comes looking for them...
