Japan, 1641, two Dutch ships full of pirated Chinese silk are blown off course and arrive at an unauthorized location to be met by 'Tanaka', lord of all the Ninja, who decides to keep the bounty for himself rather than passing it on to his master - the Shogun. Johan Radeur, leader of the Dutch expedition, reluctantly goes along with Tanaka's plan and has to use all of his wit to keep his crew alive. The Shogun learns of Tanaka's plan and decides to 'rid the Japanese world of the Ninja'. After escaping Japan with the Dutch ships, a young Ninja finds himself marooned on an island of 'Headhunters'. He would have to learn how to live undetected on the island before he kills them, all of them.
