It is the fourth year of the Keiou era (1868). The Tokugawa Shogunate is ending after a period of dominance that continued for 300 years. Goku (Yuuya Yagira) suddenly breaks off his marriage engagement with the younger sister of Teijirou (Amane Okuyama). Teijirou becomes outraged when he learns of this, and heads off in pursuit of Goku, until they reencounter their friend since childhood, Masanosuke (Kouji Seto). When Goku discovers that Masanosuke has been driven out of his family home, Goku encourages him to join their Shougitai resistance movement. When these three lifelong friends are reunited, their destinies are catapulted into extreme directions. (Shochiku)
