YAKUZA LOVER is the intense story of Japanese organized crime in Los Angeles. Young Asian women are forced into the fast-paced world of sex trade—with no way out. When murders of the women start, local police departments set up a task force to put an end to it. The sting operation needs one person who can get close to the yakuza head, someone beautiful enough to pull off the image of being a high-class call girl, and clever enough to out-wit organized crime gangsters. Meet June Kato, neurosurgeon, ex-fashion model...and stand-in yakuza girlfriend? Against her better judgment but with justice on her mind, June enters the dark world of Japanese organized crime. Masquerading as a classy call girl, and relying on her knowledge of contemporary Japanese culture, she agrees to visit an LA nightclub for one night, hoping to find inside information to help the police. Just as she gets in too deep, the cops abandon June, leaving her stranded in the bloody hands of gangsters. Desperate to save herself, she needs to climb, crawl, even kill her way to survival before time runs out.
