Tae-Hyun awakes from a startling recurring nightmare only to narrowly escape an assassination attempt on his life. King Koguryo, ruler of one of the three kingdoms on the Korean peninsula, orders him to assassinate nobles who are suspected of being rebellion-inciting conspirators. Together with his brother Sang-Ki, who reappears from the beyond the grave, Tae-Hyun leads the King's troops against the rebels. During this battle he meets Soo-Jin, a beautiful woman whose image frequently appears in his nightmares. Sang-Ki, compassionate and passion-driven, turns against the army and helps fuel the rebellion against the King. How could Tae-Hyun's brother deceive him? And will his blind loyalty to the King break up his family when he turns in Sang-Ki for treachery? A final climactic battle will decide their fate.
