A young man named Cathan joins bandits seeking revenge against the clergy after his family is devastated by plague. Meanwhile, a humble monk called the Lightbringer emerges and begins performing miraculous healings, drawing followers who believe he may be the true spiritual leader of their land, and the two storylines converge as conflicting powers vie for control of the kingdom.
