The Black Death has spread across Cumbria, and psychic young Griffin (Hamish McFarlane) believes that he can lead his people out of danger. With nothing to lose, the survivors follow him into an abandoned mine -- and emerge 600 years later in 20th-century New Zealand. Modern life mystifies the travelers, who find spiritual symbolism in everything from television to freeway traffic. Vincent Ward (What Dreams May Come) directs this acclaimed fable.
