Regan Kent’s kid sister has gone missing in Japan… So Regan drops everything and goes to Osaka to find out what's happened.. She doesn’t speak Japanese. She doesn’t understand the culture.

But she does know how to make the most of her wits and street smarts honed growing up in a tough area of Liverpool. Regan uses these skills to uncover a secret her sister has been keeping as well as what’s happened to her and who is responsible for her disappearance. Regan vows retribution and plots revenge.
