Synopsis by Sandra Brennan

In this Japanese epic, set in the Muromachi era, the leader of a group of Kaga, refuses to help their master, a samurai, fight a battle. In order to convince the Kaga leader, the samurai Lord orders his own daughter to seduce the other's little brother. It doesn't work, and the enraged Lord kills the lad, causing all the Kaga to stand against him.
