Nijima, ouvrier marqué par l'assassinat de sa fille survenu six ans auparavant, rencontre un jour Iwamatu, un ancien ami d'enfance, qui lui propose de venir travailler dans son entreprise. D'abord réticent et dubitatif face au manque de précisions de l'offre, il finit par accepter motivé par une envie de changement. Il deviendra un acteur important d'une organisation aux méthodes criminelles particulièrement violentes. Pas exactement une séquelle de Serpent's Path (tourné quasi-simultanément à celui-ci et avec également Shô Aikawa en héros), Eyes of the Spider est une relecture intéressante centrée cette fois sur une organisation criminelle, dont l'univers si particulier est dépeint avec froideur mais aussi beaucoup de second degré.
