A modern samurai (Toru Uchikado) begins to experience surprisingly vivid and cryptic dreams in which he is haunted by terrifying creatures. This leads him to research the history of Japanese demons –the Oni— that terrorized the samurai in ancient times.
Seeking to discover the truth behind the stories, the young man will continue tirelessly to investigate the creatures, until he will have another dream in which he is personally immersed in a duel to the death against one of them (Masashi Odate). But the truth can sometimes be blurred, and he will soon discover that there are worse demons to face than those spoken of in the legends.
