Clinging to the imagined glory of his Icelandic Ancestry, Bjorn (Mark A. Krupa) immerses himself as a LARPer in Medieval re-enactment games. His brother Erik despises this escapist fantasy world. His dislike of this obsession is born out of the fact that due to his absent brother, Erik has to now take on the full responsibility of caring for their father, sacrificing his own freedom. But things go from bad to worse when his girlfriend Lyn not only becomes involved with the world of the LARPers, but is also seduced by Murtagh, the charismatic clan leader in the game so loved by his absent brother. He realises that he has now to follow her into the game if he is to stand any chance of winning her back.
Feeling completely lost in a fantasyland of arcane rules, plastic-eared elves and mead-guzzling knights, Erik must now rely on his brother for guidance. Things become gradually more fraught and emotions start to run high as their mission to win back the Princess stirs up the jealousy of Murtagh and his gang. Drama and fake weaponry start to appear far more sinister than they should, and the line between fantasy and reality disappears so that no one knows who they really are…
