The Tides of March Synopsis
In the haunting depths of Japanese waters and the scarred landscapes of Manchuria, The Tides of March unfolds a tale that intricately weaves the supernatural with the gritty realism of a spy thriller. Amidst the backdrop of a catastrophic tsunami and nuclear disaster, a saga of espionage, ancient curses and forbidden powers emerges. The story follows the lives of two high-profile Japanese detectives, each with a turbulent past. One, a former sumo wrestler towering at two metres, the other has a keen intellect which he utilises to unravel the web of mysteries in which they become entangled. Their investigation into a series of chilling disappearances and murders leads them to confront a world where reality blurs with the mystical. Central to the narrative is a bewitched Samurai family, whose current descendants, a brother and sister duo, now serve the Japanese intelligence agency with lethal grace. Their lineage, cursed yet powerful, grants the brother an uncanny ability to perceive the auras of those around him. Together the siblings navigate a perilous path, from the tumultuous waters where a tuna fishing boat faces the wrath of a giant tsunami wave, to the silent threats lurking in the heart of their nation. A rogue element enters the fray in the guise of a chef by day, who moonlights as a freelance, sword-wielding assassin. His path crosses with that of a Korean spy ring determined to seize weapons-grade plutonium from the wreckage of the Fukushima disaster, plotting to smuggle it out of the country through covert means. Interwoven into this plot is the tale of a corrupt businessman, the architect behind the doomed nuclear plant, whose greed and ambition spell disaster for anyone in his circle. As the ancient and modern collide, a sinister force is awakened by the fury of the tsunami, threatening to unleash chaos. The Atrocitor, a monstrous creature of nightmares, with flowing silk-like hair and a ferocious appetite, becomes a pivotal adversary as the story reaches its climax.
