On a sweltering summer day, a gang of high school delinquents roves through Shinjuku, their restlessness cutting through the city heat. Among them, Jirō Sugita clashes with a girl, sparking a tense argument. Jirō then leaves the group and goes home to live with his single mother, Misayo Sugita. Misayo is the mistress of Keigo Nanbara, a businessman, and Jirō’s growing disapproval of their relationship poisons the atmosphere at home, feeding his jealousy.
Jirō’s anger erupts in a fight with Nanbara, tearing through the house and stealing money from Misayo. Toshimi Tani, another girl from the gang, has a crush on Jirō and they begin an intimate relationship, though Jirō remains mostly cool and distant toward her.
