A Film by Dustin Hawkins
People say that we only have one life… but what if they are wrong? What if justice could bend the rules of mortality for a soul who has been so unforgivable wronged, that they deserve another chance. Another chance to make things right.
Our story begins in 595AD. Brunhilda of Austrasia is no ordinary soul, and it will take more than death to stop her.
