In the ninth year of Tianbao (1838), Japan was at the end of the Edo period. At that time, the laws were strict, and anyone who committed a crime would be exiled to Hachijo Island, known as Devil's Island. The prisoners would have narrowly escaped their lives. Yoshihara Hankui Fengju (Keiko Matsuzaka) was exiled to Hachijoo Island for arson, where the climate is hot and water and food resources are seriously insufficient. In order to leave this hell on earth as soon as possible, Feng Ju did not hesitate to sell her body in exchange for a pardon for returning to Edo. In desperation, Feng Ju meets Kisaburo (Nishijima Chihiro), who came to Hachijojima on gambling charges. The two gradually fell in love with each other and hoped to escape from here by virtue of the laws of the tide... This film won two awards for Best Picture and Best Director at the Method Fest Film Festival in Los Angeles.
