However, his peaceful morning takes a terrifying turn when he discovers ruthless Viking raiders led by Ivarr the Red landing on the shore, reveling in the success of their daring ocean voyage, the fearsome warriors embark on a plundering spree, spreading chaos and fire in their wake. Oswald, caught up in the Viking onslaught, finds himself taken along on an unexpected journey.
