During China's Warring States period, a district prefect arrives at the palace of Qin Shi Huang, claiming to have killed the three assassins who had made an attempt on the king's life three years ago.
A nameless warrior trades his lethal skills for a chance to reveal the truth behind a failed assassination attempt. Every frame bleeds with vibrant, symbolic color that turns a classic martial arts duel into a moving painting.
