Tenth-century Iceland. One night in the darkness of winter, two friends
set out on an adventure but end up killing a man. Kjaran, a traveling
poet who trades songs for food and shelter, and Gunnar, a feared
warrior, must make a choice: conceal the deed or confess to the crime
and pay the blood price to the family. But their decision leads to a
brutal feud: one man is outlawed, free to be killed by anyone without
consequence; the other remorselessly hunted by the dead man's kin. Set
in a world of ice and snow, this is an epic story of exile and revenge,
of duels and betrayals, and two friends struggling to survive in a
desolate landscape, where honor is the only code that men abide by.
