The no-good father who led a double-life, keeping the mafia at bay in a country 10,000 kilometers from home. The supportive mother whose loving smile hid secrets of her own. The bullied son who did his best to keep his family from worrying. The eldest, an insomniac tangled up in the web of crime and Yakuza. At the end of the day, the Sawadas were your typical family.
