Stokes of Deceit

Is it right to cheat death, to cheat family - even for love?

Two brothers, divergent in character, but unified by one love, embark on a journey neither is likely to return from. Struggling through the ravages of the final months of World War 2, both young men enlist to contribute their lives to save Imperial Japan. When a moment of madness, self-preservation or all consuming love leads to a fateful decision, it divides the brothers ensuring that honour and deceit plant the poisonous seeds of falsehood. Decades later that single moment of madness, which led to a lifetime of tortured regret, resurfaces to claim its honor with devastating retribution.
