A military weapons case reveals an old vendetta rooted in a family massacre, while disaster relief grain conceals a deadly plot on the border. As their blades catch the moonlight, one investigates in the open, where torches blaze, while the other plots in the dark, listening to the rain. Together, they will pierce this decaying dynasty and bring justice back to the realm.
