A desperate struggle to return home to Joseon.
About
Early 1945, a remote island in the South Pacific isolated by the U.S. naval blockade. Kim Chi-eon, wearing a military tag bearing the name 'Kanemoto Yukihiko,' witnesses a living hell where soldiers starve to skeletal remains amidst relentless U.S. naval bombardment and malaria-infested jungles. As Japanese officers descend into madness, demanding suicide attacks for the Emperor, the forcibly conscripted Chi-eon clings to his sanity, clutching a worn scrap of paper inscribed with the names of his ailing parents and young siblings back home. For him, this war is not about the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere; it is a desperate struggle for survival, driven only by the need to return home alive and feed his family.

Intro
