Wounded Man

Yuko Kusaka, a determined journalist from Japan, embarks on an assignment in Brazil to investigate the lucrative gold rush captivating many in the Amazon rainforest. Among the throngs of local gold miners, she seeks out a figure shrouded in rumors: a Japanese man known as Rio Baraki. However, upon arrival, Yuko's team faces immediate danger when a violent confrontation leaves her scarred both physically and emotionally. Despite the threat, Yuko's resolve to uncover the truth compels her to stay, leading her deeper into a world fraught with peril.

As she navigates these treacherous waters, the identity of her attacker is revealed to be Baraki himself, a formidable man marked by a striking scar across his back. His true name, Keisuke Ibaraki, unfolds a more complex narrative: a former star quarterback whose life was derailed by the machinations of a powerful organization known as GPX. Yuko's investigation not only delves into the gold rush but also unravels the dark secrets of a man caught in a web of betrayal and survival.
