A grim, kinetic revenge tale set in historical Korea, where a blinded master swordsman is drawn back into violence to save his daughter.

After being blinded in a coup against the king, Joseon's greatest swordsman goes into hiding, far removed from his city's anguish. But when traffickers kidnap his daughter, he has no choice but to unsheathe his sword once more.
