After losing his home to a powerful enemy, a hot-tempered fighter trains under his zealous grandfather while awaiting his chance for revenge.

A small town sheriff and a Japanese crime writer are lured into the same strange murder mystery unfolding on the back streets and outskirts of San Francisco.

Based on documents and accounts from the few Japanese survivors at the battle of Iwo Jima, we see the fighting from the perspective of the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese had to defend this barren Pacific island against insurmountable odds with no air support or reinforcements.
