Fear not the weapon, but the hand that wields it.

A visceral, high-octane revenge thriller built on martial arts spectacle and graphic violence, with a protagonist haunted by trauma and betrayal.

Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth.
