The Story

Tokyo. Present day.

Sayuri is a brilliant high-school girl being destroyed by relentless bullying and her family's crushing debt.

When a high-ranking yakuza boss offers to wipe the debt clean in exchange for one "small favor," she steps into a hidden world of violence, loyalty, and impossible choices.

Inspired by real people and real events Dick Steele witnessed in Japan, Gaman is a raw, emotional story about endurance, identity, and the true cost of survival.
