Delinquent Girl Boss: Tokyo Drifters kicks off with a daring act of solidarity: a group of delinquent schoolgirls helps a pregnant peer escape their reform school, earning severe punishment. Fast-forward a year, and these women find themselves reunited in the bustling streets of Tokyo. Trying to leave their troubled past behind, they join forces with street vendors to carve out a new life.
