The consciousness <strong>of</strong> each "special child" has a unique ability or skill inside since birth.<br />
It is called a "gift". A special child like Zen, whose mother Sin is in the final stages <strong>of</strong><br />
leukemia, could never have known that trying to exercise the rights <strong>of</strong> her mother will<br />
lead her mother and herself into an unknown world. Her mother used to be an important<br />
woman <strong>of</strong> Number-8, the leader <strong>of</strong> the most powerful and terrifying Mafia gang in<br />
Thailand. Consequently, her journey is a key factor leading to the confrontation between<br />
Number-8, <strong>of</strong> the Thai Mafia gang, and Masashi, a key member <strong>of</strong> Japanese Yakuza, who<br />
tries to protect Zen and her mother. It seems that the only way Zen has is to use her<br />
fighting gift to protect her mother.<br />
