MI6 agent Orson Fortune and his team of operatives recruit one of Hollywood's biggest movie stars to help them on an undercover mission when the sale of a deadly new weapons technology threatens to disrupt the world order.

Set in Hiroshima, this is a family story spun by the musicians 'Midnight Brothers', in the lead roles. This fictional film offers a taste of the real temperature and atmosphere of the area, along with music born in Hiroshima. In a small alley in town, you hear singing. The acoustic sound seems to be coming from the upper floor of a secondhand bookstore in a wooden house. The three brothers of the Yamao family, Morio (Mikaka), the eldest, Rinzou (Jacky), the second, and Mitsuki (Nokkon), the third, have music in common, but they are all very different in their approach to it. All of them are in their mid-30's and have moved on with their lives, but sometimes they get together in Morio's room to sing. The reason for the three of them to sing together is to hold the memorial service for their father, who passed away about 30 years ago. It is the only family event in which they drink and sing together. One day, Morio receives a letter from his half-sister Kawase Hatsuki (Maeda Tami), who has been separated from him since his birth. The distant sister, whom he has not heard from for about 30 years, begins to become entangled in the three brothers' relationship. By the way, Mitsuki also receives news on his smart phone that requires him to make a life choice. The unexpected news sets the days of the Yamao family in motion before the 33rd anniversary of their father's death, which will be a mourning ceremony. A story of one step forward for the brothers, spun through the songs of "Inukoro(whelps)" and others.

Eddie and Paul are Americans out on parole and working for the very demanding Louie in a greasy spoon. Paul is quirky, acts like a spoiled brat and wants to make movies and Eddie likes comic books. The viewer occasionally gets to see one of the comic books he's reading, and no, the hero is not Blue Iguana. Katherine, a pretty English lawyer, comes in the restaurant to make a deal with Eddie and Paul. She knows what they are capable of doing, and she offers $20,000 each if they will help her with a job in London. They want $30,000 each, and they want to avoid hurting anyone and she reluctantly agrees. As for how to get Louie to let them off work, Katherine has heard enough of his conversation with them to tell Louie she can get him in lots of trouble. So the three travel to London (laws are broken to get the guys there, as we find out when she needs to use this against them) and meet with Katherine's cousin Tommy and Cornelius, who we later learn was passed over for Elijah Wood in the role of a Hobbit because he was too tall (or that's what he says). The job is simple. At a museum, Paul and Eddie steal what looks like a children's backpack, and is referred to as a "rucksack". Someone who looks like Ken Jennings gets in the way and the blue bag, as it is called, is gone. Someone else wants whatever is in that blue bag. Deacon is a really nasty man who runs a pub. Some people call him "Billy Ray Cyrus" because of his hair. Late in the movie someone does a bad impression of Cyrus singing "Achy Breaky Heart" to make fun of him. Deacon and two bumbling idiots take over a restaurant--the accomplices put on aprons to look like they work there--and Eddie, Paul and Katherine meet and Deacon and his crew get away with the bag. Arkady is a successful businessman and not particularly nice. He is working with Deacon, but Katherine was also supposed to get him the contents of that bag in order to pay off a huge debt. He will settle for being told how to find the Americans. Believing Arkady will kill them, Katherine refuses and once again she owes Arkady a huge debt. Eddie and Paul want to quit but Katherine points out they can now get in so much trouble they will be jailed in Britain. Eddie, Paul, Katherine and Tommy set up a surveillance operation across the street from Deacon's place, in an empty building with street-style art. Eventually, Katherine discovers Arkady is after a valuable diamond called the Blue Iguana, given by a Turkish prince to his fiancee, who then loses it gambling. And so our heroes try various schemes to get their hands on the Blue Iguana and return it to its rightful owner. In one case, they are not allowed in a hotel because a zombie movie is being filmed, but when they set off an explosion for an unrelated reason, they are covered with blood and easily pass for cast members. Paul manages to convince a tough, intelligent bartender named Dawn he works for NASA and starts a relationship with her. There are other incidents which turn violent and people are killed. Katherine also has dirt on Arkady which she can use.
