Japan, 1137, at the end of the Heian period. The Taira, a samurai clan, is drawn into the disputes between the retired Emperor Toba and the monks of Mount Hiei. Captain Tadamori comes home to Kyoto after defeating a pirate uprising in the western sea of Japan. The high courtiers dislike career soldiers who gain power and influence, and they set aside the will of the emperor, so the captain is not rewarded.
