Angleterre, haut Moyen Age. Dans un pays en proie à toutes sortes de superstitions vivent Axl et Beatrice. Leur amour a résisté aux années, mais leurs souvenirs sont aussi brumeux que les montagnes et les vallées qui les entourent. Ils décident de faire un voyage pour rejoindre leur fils qu'ils n'ont pas vu depuis des années. Des obstacles se dressent sur leur chemin, parfois étranges, parfois terrifiants. Sommes-nous les otages impuissants de notre mémoire ?
