Terror reigns in Ireland in the ninth century. Vikings continue to pillage the countryside, killing villagers and taking precious treasures back to their homeland.
Seeking to avenge the death of his parents, a young man named Finnian leaves his monastic school to find a legendary sword that has the supernatural power to defeat all evil.
To find the weapon, he must travel to an isolated rock in the middle of the sea, known as Skellig Michael. This distant island off the southern coast of Ireland is where it was last seen…
