Based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 masterpiece, Yojimbo.

Kodama is a pretty intelligent tough guy investigating an incident that occurred in the small town of Kimujuku over 15 years ago. However, the local town folk have been feeling a bit uneasy since the arrival of this wandering stranger. Kodama is soon caught up in the middle of a bloody gang fight as both groups fight for overall control of the town. Amidst the fighting, shootings, and deadly alliances, will Kodama find the clues to his mystery or will he find himself face down in a body-bag?
