“In 16th century Scotland Drustan MacKeltar reigned as the laird of the keep. Despite being Druids, the MacKeltars still respected all religions and keep a priest of sorts on the premises for their tenants. This priest has a rather strange mother, who after seeing an incomplete vision is convinced Drustan will kill her son. She seeks the aid of the Rome to develop a curse that will prevent Drustan from ever harming her son. Thus, they place him in an enchanted sleep and bury him in an underground chamber. Five centuries later, Gwyn, a 20-something year old from Arizona, takes a vacation in Scotalnd in order to spice up her life. After a short solo hike, Gwyn accidently tumbles into Drustans underground chamber and inadvertently reawakens him. Drustan is, of course, confused and Gwyn, or course, thinks Drustan is a bit crazy. Drustan holds Gwyn captive and forces her to show him his castle. When they get there and it is in ruins, he invokes his Druid arts and calls upon the stones to create a time portal into the past, but only Gywn is able to travel through the stones. When Gwyn arrives in the past, she has no idea what happened to her 20th century Drustan but must convince the 16th century Drustan that something nefarious is about to happen. 16th century Drustan is stubborn, to say the least, and refuses to listen or take seriously her warnings. The rest of the story revolves around Gwyn's attempts to convince Drustan of danger and then their separation at the end when the laws of physics dictate that once they've changed events in the past, events in the future will correspondingly change.”
