In the harsh wilderness of 10th century Scandinavia, a young Sami hunter named Aigin returns home to find his family brutally murdered by a band of ruthless warriors known as the Tchudes. With his village in danger, Aigin must choose between leading his people to safety or seeking revenge against the Tchudes. He decide to take matters into his own hands and sets out on a perilous journey to track down the Tchudes and end their reign of terror. Along the way he encounters a wise shaman named Raste who reveals to him the true meaning of his life and teaches him the ways of the Pathfinder. But as Aigin gets closer to his goal, he realizes that his actions may have consequences that will impact not only his own life but also the future of his people.
