Storyline

A mysterious man from the north arrives into a sleepy valley where there is a little town. He is stuck there because he is on the run from the baron of a previous town. His only way out is to go back the way he came or go through a bridge that stands over the great river that leads to the north and out. He finds himself embroiled in the events that are starting to unravel in that valley.
