A newly‑minted Oxford graduate sets out for the wilds of northern England and the rugged borders of Scotland, driven by restless curiosity and a taste for adventure. As he rides past crumbling abbey ruins and isolated farmsteads, the bleak landscape awakens both awe and unease, while the locals he encounters offer cryptic answers that hint at hidden histories and uneasy superstitions. The journey quickly becomes more than a simple tour; the countryside’s misty roads and ancient stones seem to whisper secrets that beg to be deciphered.
Soon the traveler finds himself drawn into a world where folklore and reality intertwine, and his own skepticism is tested by strange omens and puzzling encounters. He befriends a mysterious figure who claims to read the stars, promising insight into the forces at work around him. As the first act unfolds, the stage is set for a tale of intrigue, loyalty, and the thin line between myth and truth.
