1295 from the Nativity of Christ. Acre, the last stronghold of the Crusaders in Palestine, fell, and the European knights were expelled from the Holy Land. The Grand Master of the Templar Order, Jacques de Molay, does not want to accept defeat. For the sake of organizing a new crusade, he is ready to do anything - even fight on the side of the English King Edward against the rebellious Scotland. This mistake can cost the order dearly. Scotsman Will Campbell has always religiously observed the laws of the Templars. But this time the independence and freedom of his homeland is at stake, and he commits betrayal by going over to the side of the rebel leader William Wallace. He is ready to defend his native land to the last drop of blood - but he is forced to fight powerful opponents not with force, but with intelligence and cunning.
