A samurai arrives at a shrine in search of the person responsible for mysterious disappearances. There, she finds Byakko, the white tiger, but fails to harm him. Some flowers save her and guide her to a destroyed shrine, replaced by prey. She discovers that Byakko is a furious deity. While he tries to kill her, the samurai must calm his anger and purify him. Following the flowers, she destroys the prey, restores the shrine, and returns peace to Byakko.
