7 de agosto de 1942. O Exército dos EUA envia uma grande frota naval para atacar Guadalcanal. Isso marcou o início da contraofensiva do Exército dos EUA no Pacífico. Guadalcanal teve que ser defendida até a morte! Após seis meses de batalha mortal, as munições e os suprimentos da guarnição japonesa foram exauridos. Sofrendo de fome, feridas, malária e disenteria amebiana, eles foram finalmente derrotados e a contraofensiva dos militares dos EUA que conquista Guadalcanal espalha-se de ilha em ilha como uma avalanche. Bougainville, o arquipélago de Bismarck, Nova Guiné, Makin, Tarawa e finalmente, a 7 de julho de 1944, os defensores de Saipan escolheram o caminho dos "gyokusai". (Gyokusai = morte honrosa em vez de rendição, seja lutando contra a morte ou suicídio).
In the Edo period, a nameless ronin accepts an assignment to go to a mountain pass and wait. Near the pass he stops at an inn where a collection of characters gather, including a gang set on stealing shogunate gold that's soon to come over the pass. When the Ronin's assignment becomes clear, to help the gang, he's ordered to kill the inn's residents, including a woman he's rescued from an abusive husband. He's reluctant to murder innocent people; then he learns that the gold shipment is a trap and he's part of a double cross. How he sorts through these divided loyalties tests of his samurai honor, and perhaps of his love for a woman.
