SYNOPSIS
Three young men are on their way to war in the Holy Land: Peter, the son of a Christian mother and a Saracen father, is leaving behind a past he would rather forget in search of love; Andrew, a serf, is seeking honour in battle; Richard, a young nobleman, is abandoning court life to follow his faith.
Facing the horrors of war in search of answers and a new way of life, the three young men experience friendships, love and adventure in the midst an incredible undertaking that can never be called Holy.
