Live streaming drives the plot

The story begins with Carter appearing mid-stream on a live video feed. Chat box commenters provide random insults and background details at a speed viewers cannot process. The film quickly shifts into a free-for-all involving gangsters fighting against everyone else.

Character moves through Tokyo

Carter travels around the Japanese capital while the narrative density of the online overload diminishes. Izumi Adachi lures him with promises of large sums of money to sell vintage denim. She uses a duffel bag filled with clothes as a plot device to move the story forward.
