Synopsis:

Shinjuku Mad is about a desperate father's search for the killer of his son. The father has rushed from the countryside to comb the seamy, filthy gutters and alleys of Tokyo. He meets some no-good, pot-smoking, guitar-playing, orgy-having hippies who knew his son but just won't cooperate. Eventually, he discovers that Shinjuku Mad killed his son for the sake of some social revolution. The father tracks down the man and his group - if he can't get a satisfactory answer as to why his son was killed, he wants to at least understand the 'revolution' that claimed his son's life.

A man comes to Tokyo from the countryside looking for his son's killer. He discovers the slow pace of police investigations and willing to understand the reasons of his son's death slowly enters in the deep underground of the city and encounters its counterculture symbols. Finally he finds Shinjuku Mad the man that he's been told has killed his son. He's the leader of a self-called revolutionary gang and explains to the man that his son was a rat and they had to remove all the possible obstacles on the road to revolution. But in the final verbal showdown the gang's reasons appear as inconsistent, their will to make a revolution is weak and they don't even know what to revolt.
