Synopsis

Based on Saeki Yasuhide’s historical novel series, this period drama follows Sakazaki Iwane (Matsuzaka Tori), who becomes entangled in a tragic incident that results in the death of a close friend, culminating in his decision to flee his current life and hometown in order to live in Edo.
Working at an eel restaurant by day and as a bodyguard for a money exchanger by night, Iwane gains trust through his masterful swordsmanship and kind personality, but soon becomes wrapped up in a conspiracy involving a new currency distributed by the shogunate.
