After his devastatingly fast, samurai-style combat approach sets filmmakers against him, a legendary action star films his own movie—on turf claimed by feuding yakuza gangs, including Japan’s deadliest martial arts assassin.

For years the defence and safety of the Imperial city rested on the shoulders of Sumire Kanzaki of the Flower Troupe. But this, as with all things, must fade away. As the top star of the Imperial Operetta Company, Sumire was the power and the light from which her comrades drew their own strength and resolve. It was through her that the Flower Troupe found their courage... and through her that many happy memories were made. Now the curtain rises for one final performance as the star that once shined so brightly to grow faint. As the spotlight dims on one legend, another must come center stage.
