Banana Fish

A teenage gang lord chases a deadly secret while rescuing friends in a city on the brink of madness.

Ash Lynx, a prodigy raised in the shadows of New York’s underworld, now commands his own street gang at seventeen. When his older brother Griffin mutters the cryptic phrase “Banana Fish” before dying in a war‑torn Iraq, Ash is thrust into a relentless hunt for the drug‑like virus that’s turning the city’s youth into mindless husks. His investigation leads him to a gritty downtown bar, where he meets Shunichi Ibe, a Japanese photojournalist, and his earnest assistant Eiji Okumura, who are documenting the city’s gang culture. Their conversation is cut short as Dino Golzine, the mafia patriarch who once raised Ash, dispatches his enforcers to the bar. In the ensuing melee, Ash’s loyal friend Skip and the earnest Eiji are seized, leaving Ash to juggle a rescue mission with his deeper quest for the truth behind Banana Fish. As the stakes rise, alliances shift and the line between predator and prey blurs. Ash must navigate betrayals, confront his own violent upbringing, and protect the fragile bond he’s formed with Shun and Eiji—all while the virus spreads like a contagion of chaos through the streets.
