Edo-period Japan. A farmer is challenged to a duel by a samurai — refuse, and he forfeits his life. With no skill, no blade, and no time, he begins to train in secret, aided by the local sakaya owner, whose help comes with its own quiet mystery. But as the day of the duel draws near, the fight he's preparing for begins to change shape. The confrontation that finally arrives isn't the one he trained for.
