Sushi Girl is a gritty thriller about loyalty, deception, and revenge. The film unfolds through the perspective of Fish, played by Tony Todd, a career criminal who has just been released from prison. Fish is the only member of his gang who went to jail for their infamous heist, but he has never betrayed his accomplices.
The four other men in Fish's gang are played by Mark Hamill, James Duval, Andy Mackenzie, and Noah Hathaway. They all gather at a lavish, underground restaurant to celebrate Fish's release. The sushi girl, played by Cortney Palm, is the centerpiece of the feast, lying still and silent on a table while sushi is served off her body.
The atmosphere soon turns tense as the other men start to question Fish's loyalty. They prod and poke at him, trying to find out if he talked to the police or kept hidden the whereabouts of their stolen jewels. As the night wears on, tensions boil over, and the situation spirals out of control.
