In feudal Japan, Mariko — the only daughter of a prominent samurai — is ambushed on her way to a political marriage and left for dead. Disguising herself as a boy, she infiltrates the Black Clan, a band of ronin rebels, to uncover who ordered her assassination. As she earns the outlaws' grudging respect, she finds herself drawn to their brooding second-in-command, Ōkami, and begins to question everything she believed about loyalty, gender, and her own desires.
