In the midst of war-torn medieval Japan, a young samurai lord named Hojo Tokiyuki embarks on a daring quest to reclaim his throne. Born into the prestigious Hojo clan, Tokiyuki's peaceful days of playing hide-and-seek with his teachers are abruptly interrupted when his clan is betrayed from within. As the lone survivor of his family, Tokiyuki is the rightful heir to the throne, but to take it back, he must resort to his greatest strength—running away! After years of rigorous training and fierce battles, Tokiyuki and his loyal retainers, with the combined Hojo and Suwa army at their command, have successfully defeated Ashikaga Takauji's forces and regained control of the city of Kamakura. Celebrating their victory, Tokiyuki and his entourage seek the services of the legendary swordsmith Masamune. Meanwhile, Emperor Go-Daigo, stunned and dismayed by the defeat, issues a command to Takauji himself to lead his army in a final assault to destroy Tokiyuki once and for all.
