Kainan arrives with a formidable alien creature known as a Moorwen, which he inadvertently brought with him. The Moorwen begins to terrorize a Viking village, killing its inhabitants and wreaking havoc. To combat the creature, Kainan joins forces with the local tribesmen, including a fierce Viking leader named Gunnar (John Hurt) and his son (Jack Huston).
