Now caught at the center of a hostile takeover within his clan, Hiro is torn between loyalty and honor.



Hiro has to choose: side with his father and kill his friends and Uncle Jiro - the only real family he's ever had - or side with Uncle Jiro and attempt to face down the fearsome army under his father's control.
