In 18th century Denmark, Captain Ludvig Kahlen, an impoverished war hero, sets out to tame a new land, build a colony in the name of the King and gain a noble title for himself. This land is under the rule of Frederik De Schinkel, a nobleman who realises the threat Kahlen represents to his power. Kahlen is joined by a couple who have fled the clutches of the rapacious De Schinkel, prompting a violent and intense confrontation between the two men.
