Japan, 1703. On a snowy night, forty-seven fiercely determined warriors make their way behind the thicken earthen walls surrounding the estate of the shogun's master of ceremonies, Kira Yoshinaka. They have planned their attack so carefully that there is no need to speak, and they do not stop until they have cornered Kira. Sano Ichiro, who has been demoted through vicious court intrigue from Chamberlain to his old post as Most Honorable Investigator of Events, Situations, and People, is assigned to investigate the murder - which seems at first to be an obvious act of retribution. But what touched off the violence between Kira and their master in the first place ?
