In the small medieval kingdom of Pretencia, the younger brother of the crown Prince is not content to be second best. While his brother and the King shut themselves away in mourning for the Queen, Prince Reuben takes over the kingdom and has his brother killed. He claims all that was his brother's, including his fiancee and the sacred Medallion of the Heir. Unhappy and confused by the sudden increase in taxation, the people of the kingdom are getting restless. When a stranger with no memory, beaten nearly to death, they take him in, name him Mark, and make him one of their own. He learns of their plight and sympathizes, and when he learns he has military skills, he agrees to assist them in revolt. He falls in love with Maddie, a local girl, but he fears if his memory returns he will not be able to marry her."
