Three women with no reason to trust each other and nothing left to lose meet at the wrong end of Japan’s economy and find a very illegal way out. Wakako (Kasumi Arimura), a mother of two, learns that her husband has been fired, exposed for embezzlement, and left her buried in debt. Kiyoe (Haru Kuroki) is a researcher with no job security owing six million yen. Mayu (Sara Minami) is pregnant, unmarried, and a broke cabaret-club worker. A shady gig sends them all to Singapore, where the work turns out to be gold smuggling. Then the money comes in. And so does the freedom. Chihiro Amano, director of Mrs. Noisy, draws on a real smuggling case for a film about women who have spent their lives short on money and short on luck, but suddenly discover they are pretty good at being bad.
