La bête sauvage n'est d'autre qu'un Dieu malfaisant invoqué par la tribu locale des Kumas, en colère depuis que leur terre a été détruite pour la construction de l'hôtel, pour qu'il extermine les envahisseurs et les vacanciers. Secondé par une anthropologue, Alice, Daniel tente de freiner le massacre.

In 1941, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (Sō Yamamura) and his predecessor, Zengo Yoshida (Junya Usami), discuss America's embargo that starves Japan of raw materials. While both agree that a war with the United States would be a complete disaster, army hotheads and politicians push through an alliance with Germany and start planning for war. With the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Yamamoto orders the planning of a preventive strike, believing Japan's only hope is to annihilate the American Pacific fleet at the outset of hostilities.
