Dragonfly: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

A rebellious young male trapped in a violent existence and nevertheless tries to do right. The main character is part of the Yakuza, who's quick to strike back at things he doesn't like and just as quick to correct what he sees to be wrong. His struggle to define and uphold his own code of ethics makes for a deeply searching drama, which is far from a feel good series.
