Ryoko Itakura (Nobuko Miyamoto) is one of the top tax investigators in the Japanese government, unafraid to take on even the roughest characters who have been accused of committing tax fraud. When she investigates a religious cult called Heaven’s Path, however, she finds a new nemesis in the cult’s leader, Teppei Onizawa (Rentarô Mikuni). As Teppei and his wife, Kinu (Haruko Kato), bask in their billions of ill-begotten funds, Ryoko must find a way to ensnare the well-connected crooks.

Nobuko Miyamoto returns to the role of Ryoko Itakura, the tough-as-nails government tax investigator whom you most definitely don’t want to cross, in Juzo Itami’s energetic, genre-twisting follow-up to A Taxing Woman. Slightly darker in tone than the more comedic original, this outing finds the tenacious Ryoko deploying her skills in order to expose a fanatical religious cult lead by a corrupt sociopath (Rentaro Mikuni) concealing billions in illegal funds.
