In the spring of 1938, Japanese forces occupied the Jiaodong region of China. The village of Tiandao, located deep in the Kunyu Mountains, was chosen by the Japanese as a central stronghold.

The village, whose inhabitants had lived as hunters for generations, faced the sudden invasion with fierce resistance, creating a heroic and fiery epic of youth amidst blood and fire.
