Plot:
Rescued from certain death by the compassionate ruler, Lord Asano, the unprotected young outcast, Kai, grows up alongside with his benefactor's beloved daughter, Mika, in eighteenth-century Japan. Having sworn eternal devotion to his benevolent protector, Kai's world will turn upside down when a seemingly innocent visit by the supreme monarch, Shogun Tsunayoshi, and the leader of the neighbouring province, Lord Kira, leads to a shameful act of treason, and Lord Asano's dishonourable death. Now, Asano's loyal men, his high-ranking samurai, Oishi, and Kai are rendered ronin--or masterless samurai--forever banished into the unforgiving wilderness, leaving Mika in the clutches of her father's arch-rival, Kira. However, there's a Tengu-raised fighter in their midst who craves justice. Will the 47 Ronin save Mika and clear their disgraced commander's name?
