Set in 1862, Japan is portrayed as a country in turmoil as the Shogun’s power declines and rival groups move to restore the Emperor. In Yokohama, foreigners seek to profit from the unrest. Malcolm Struan, head of the Noble House and heir to the title of Tai-Pan, aims to forge his own path and marry the woman he loves, while Lord Yoshi leads the Shogunate party as a descendant of Shogun Toranaga.
