The time of the samurai is coming to an uncertain end. Exiled as a child by his father, young Hiroyuki grew up at his Uncle Jiro's secluded dojo, hoping one day to prove himself worthy enough to return home. Now caught at the center of a hostile takeover within his clan, Hiro is torn between loyalty and honor.

Honor: Armed with the Dragon’s Fang–a legendary sword–side with his father to kill Uncle Jiro and regain his honor in the eyes of the clan.

Loyalty: Armed with a bokken–a wooden training sword–side with Uncle Jiro to face down the fearsome army under his father's control.

It only takes one cut to kill, but what is one man against the Army of One-Thousand?
