Near the end of the 19th century, as power shifts from the Shogunate to the Emperor, Japan stands on the brink of a new era. The Shinsengumi—an eclectic force of samurai, farmers and peasants—rallies under Isami Kondo, a farmer‑turned‑fighter who leads them with a stern hand and a heart of gold. They fight to defend the failing Shogunate against treachery and bloodshed, while loyalty is tested by conspiracies, betrayal and the relentless tide of history.
