After robbing their teacher on their last day at school in the fishing district of Osaka, Ryoko gets a job in a hair salon, while the two boys settle down to a career of enforcement and protection in their industrial town... A Miike film that is to a degree autobiographical, 'Young Thugs - Innocent Blood' follows three school friends through their first year after leaving, each trying to make their own way in a large and multi-faceted world full of violence, sentiment and humour.
