'Set in modern day Tokyo where Jake Argand searches for Jessica - a beautiful Australian hostess who has disappeared. During Jake's investigation, dismembered bodies of caucasian hostesses are being found daily by police who believe a serial killer is responsible. Jessica's trail leads Jake to believe the murderer is following the way of the samurai. Assisting in Jake's search is Maya, a Japanese hostess Jake tries to free from the yakuza. But before he can find Jessica and stop the killings, he will learn the true meaning of samurai as well as Hanami - Japan's age old celebration of when cherry buds turn to blossom.'
