An intricate and immersive exploration of morality and ambition set against the turbulent backdrop of Japan’s financial crisis in the 1990s and 2000s, is the intertwining tale of three drastically different individuals: Masahiko Washizu, a ruthless financier and vulture capitalist trained in the United States who sets out on an aggressive series of high-stakes acquisitions and financial maneuvers; Takeo Shibano, a career employee at Japan’s Mitsuba Bank whose growing disillusionment with his nation’s financial sector mirrors his personal failures and strained family relationships; and Takako Matsudaira, a young hotel heiress in the resort city of Nikko, determined to restore her family’s legacy while navigating the treacherous waters of corporate politics and financial adversity. Blending suspenseful corporate intrigue with deep, multi-layered character studies, Vultures is both a gripping thriller and a masterful critique of the financial world’s excesses and moral bankruptcy.
