Smoke Over Daughter's Village

In 1938, the Japanese Army’s Cherry Blossom Task Force infiltrates the Wuling Mountains, coveting a secret map of the southwest’s defenses. The isolated Daughter’s Stockade is plunged overnight into a deadly world of espionage. The thousand-year-old stockade, guarded entirely by women, is suddenly breached by a young man carrying the secret map. Military Intelligence agents lie in wait, while a traitor within the stockade secretly colludes with the enemy. Poisonous fog, assassination, sowing discord, and deadly traps close in at every turn. Amid a web of spies, chieftain Liang Yao faces the crisis head-on and turns the tables. Four factions maneuver against one another, and it is impossible to tell what lies in people’s hearts. A traitor seeks redemption, puppet troops switch sides, and guerrillas rush to the rescue. A desperate counterattack quietly begins. Espionage in the deep mountains, women defending their homeland; the secret map as bait, the cliffs as a trap. Not an inch of ground will be yielded, and loyal souls will never perish.
