Despite his lineage, the boy is raised by the very Indians his kinsmen set out to destroy. When the Vikings return to stage another barbaric raid on his village, the 25-year-old Norse warrior (Karl Urban) wages a personal war to stop the Vikings’ trail of death and destruction. Forging his own path, his destiny is revealed and his identity is reclaimed.
