In the 17th century, two Portuguese Jesuit priests arrive in Japan at a time when Catholicism is banned. With the final goal to re-establish Christianity, they embark on a search for their mentor, Father Ferreira, who mysteriously disappeared after his capture by the authorities five years earlier.
