Japonsko před několika desetiletími vyhrálo druhou světovou válku. Američané uctívají jejich vznešeného císaře a nikdo nepochybuje o tom, že válečná brutalita vítězů byla jen exemplárním příkladem. Nikdo, až na Washingtony – tajemnou skupinu bojovníků za svobodu. Jejich nejnovější podvratnou činností je distribuce ilegální videohry, jež hráče zavádí do světa, ve kterém válku naopak vyhrály Spojené státy americké. Kapitán Beniko Išimura se jako videoherní cenzor snaží spolu s agentkou japonské tajné policie Akiko Cukinovou zabránit dalšímu šíření znepokojivého produktu. Ale i Išimura cosi skrývá... Pomalu odhaluje, že případ Washingtonů je mnohem komplikovanější, než se zdálo, a podvratná videohra je díky svému původu mnohem kontroverznější a nebezpečnější než by mohl kdokoli předpokládat.
