A young man travels through a magical portal to a hidden kingdom, where he discovers his destiny is to become a prophesied warrior, who is said will destroy an ancient evil curse.
Charlotte Lockton has settled in 1860s New Zealand with her wealthy husband, David. But her life’s dreams are shattered when he is murdered on their farm and her baby son is kidnapped. A month after paying a ransom, frustrated with the apathy of the authorities and distrusting of her staff, she decides to track him down on her own.
And so begins her journey through the wilds of an untamed New Zealand. She is forced to join a convoy of whores, ex-cons and a Maori warrior heading for the rough mining community of Goldtown. There she meets Joshua McCullen, the owner of the mining town: a man who is key to uncovering the truth behind the disappearance of her son, forcing her to fight to the death for what she holds most dear.
