Around 1000 AD, the tribal leader Bud (Alexanda Morton) made things difficult for the one-eyed warrior Harold (Mads Mikkelsen) of unknown origin. Instead of protecting him as a fellow tribesman, he thought he was a dangerous creature cursed by hatred and sentenced him to prison. Harold was tied up in the wilderness and tortured. Fortunately, he met Al (Maarten Stevenson), a 10-year-old clever boy. With Al's rescue, Harold was able to escape from prison. The two formed a life-and-death alliance and embarked on the road of escape to the heart of darkness. On the way, they boarded a pirate ship trying to find paradise, but the fog covered the river. After floating on the sea for 40 days, the boat reached an unknown land. However, when Harold and others landed, they were ambushed by the natives. The pirates were cursed with terrible casualties. Little Al was also captured. While rescuing his benefactor, Harold gradually uncovers the mystery of his own life experience...
