On August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan.

Through a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named C.C., Lelouch gains his Geass, the power of the king. Now endowed with absolute dominance over any person, Lelouch may finally realize his goal of bringing down Britannia from within!
