Synopsis

As the Wars of the Roses begin, the rule of law breaks down.

In 1459 open war breaks out as York and Lancaster fight for the crown of England, but in the heart of Yorkshire an old local score is being settled.

Father executed, brother butchered and sisters abducted - for young knight, Ned Elder, a feud has begun and he barely escapes with his life. Pursued across the land with only a few loyal companions, he is caught up in the civil war as he searches for his sisters.

As the civil war rages across the snow-covered battlefield of Towton, Ned, his sisters and the girl he loves must fight for survival and the bitter feud is played out to its bloody conclusion.
