Agent 007 is deeply depressed and fails one mission after another. M is extremely unhappy with this and is preparing to fire Bond. But at the last moment, after consulting with experts, he changes his decision. Bond is given a “non-core” task - to establish partnerships with Japanese intelligence, which has achieved great success in intercepting and deciphering secret Soviet data. This is not so easy to do, since Japan is considered a sphere of influence of the United States, and the CIA, if it finds out about these contacts, will be very unhappy, and the Japanese themselves are in no hurry to rush into the arms of the British.

Still, Bond manages to establish a trusting relationship with Japanese intelligence chief Tiger Tanaka, and he is ready to share information with MI6, but in exchange for something adequate. But it just so happens that the most adequate thing that the British could offer is... James Bond himself, or rather his unique abilities. The price of cooperation is to eliminate the mysterious European from Switzerland, who built a so-called “death park” on Japanese territory, consisting of poisonous plants, where in just a few months half a thousand Japanese suicides have already died. The law is powerless here, but agent 007 is capable of the task.
