Synopsis
Historical drama depicting Japan's near-failed surrender in WWII, as fanatical army officers attempt to prevent the Emperor from surrendering.
The true story of Japan's surrender in World War II and how it nearly didn't happen! In the final days of World War II, Japan lay in ruins and the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been obliterated. A tense drama unfolds in Tokyo as Japan teeters on the edge of Armageddon.
