Description
In 1870s Japan, a complex web of loyalty and duty is tested by forbidden love. Taka and Nobu's relationship is threatened by their families' bitter feud, which has left deep scars from a devastating civil war. As the country rapidly modernises, old hatreds and social norms are challenged. The powerful southern Satsuma clan, led by General Kitaoka, holds sway, while the northern Aizu clan seeks revenge for past injustices. Taka's family is torn between loyalty to their leader and the love they share with Nobu. When the fragile peace is shattered, Taka must make a heart-wrenching choice between her family and the man she loves, as the conflict escalates into violence and betrayal.
