God's Pinch Hitter

神様のピンチヒッター

“Colt, Benz, Yokohama: the goddess smiled quietly”

Ryo, Eiji and Katsuya assemble as usual in an underground car park, only this time, the woman who has always accompanied them is missing. Driving into central Yokohama in Ryo’s Mercedes, the trio set their plan in motion. After altering a motorcycle’s licence plate, Ryo breaks away, heading off alone. What lies ahead remains uncertain. But as their scheme unfolds, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary operation, rather, a carefully orchestrated “perfect crime”, driven by the intertwined loyalties and affections of three men.
