When Lord Murashige Araki rises up against the tyrannical Nobuaga Oda, he finds himself besieged within the walss of his own castle. Isolated, he is confronted with a series of mysterious crimes that shatter the fragile order of his court, plunging the fortress into fear and suspicion. With Oda’s army closing in and a traitor hiding among his ranks, Murashige is forced into an uneasy alliance with Kanbei Kuroda, a brilliant yet dangerous strategist held prisoner in the dungeon. Helped by his wife Chioyo and his most loyal generals, Murashige must uncover the truth before the castle falls.
