Yuko Kusaka is a Japanese journalist dispatched to Brazil to report on the gold rush phenomenon that appears to be making many people rich overnight. Rumors suggest that among the numerous "garimpeiros" (gold diggers) currently in the Amazon forest, there is a Japanese man known as Rio Baraki. Upon reaching their destination, her crew member is promptly attacked, and she is raped as a warning to cease their work and return immediately to their home country. Determined to complete her assignment, she remains and learns from the attacker that he is none other than Baraki, a muscular man with white hair and a large scar on his back. Later, she discovers that his real name is Keisuke Ibaraki. Once a promising quarterback, he was falsely incriminated by a powerful organization known as GPX.
