Tara, a young and beautiful widow, comes back to her village from the countryside with her two young children. On her journey home, she receives the news of her grandfather's passing. She decides to share her grandfather's possessions with her neighbors, but there's an old sword that nobody wants to take.
One day, while traveling, Tara encounters an elderly warrior who claims to be from a bygone era. He explains that he has been sent by his clan to retrieve the old sword. Tara reluctantly agrees to give him the sword, but to her surprise, he returns shortly after, confessing that he has developed strong feelings for her.
