Their vengeance is relentless, their method
is ritual, their weapon is secret, and the motive is in their blood. In a
heavily wooded private estate in the Malibu Hills, towering above the tumbling
Pacific, millionaire CEO Kenji Takeo and his daughter, Miko, prepare for the
arrival from Japan of Takeo’s wife, Kumiko. But the calm of Solstice Canyon is
shattered by a meticulously planned stealth attack on the Takeo home by a masked
band of ninja assassins. In a flash, Takeo’s guards are killed. The mansion is
overtaken, Takeo is killed, and Miko is left for dead. Arriving at the bloody
scene is Detective Jack Barrett who encounters Miko-the only living witness. In
a state of shock, she repeats only one word like an eerie mantra: kokushibyu. In
her native language, it means Black Death. |
