Premise
[edit]High school student Shinji Seno (Toshiyuki Nagashima) and his female friends from the newspaper club, bored with their small town lives, turn to prostitution to earn money to move to the city. However, they run afoul of a local yakuza member. The conflict turns violent, and ends with Shinji beating the man to death. Shinji is sent to a juvenile detention center, where he is given the nickname "Third" because he used to play third base on the high school baseball team.
