A middle‑aged Viking re-enactor, dismissed at work for being “too old” and “not creative enough,” crashes her motorcycle and awakens in a brutal Viking world where everyone believes she is the legendary shield‑maiden Lagertha. Forced into real combat and a deadly legal trial, she must confront her deepest trauma and reclaim her power to survive.

SYNOPSIS:

When Quinn, a seasoned designer and passionate Viking re-enactor, is denied the chance of a lifetime because of sexism and ageism, she quits in fury—only to crash her bike moments later. She wakes chained in a Viking village that mistakes her for the mythic warrior Lagertha. Drawn into battle, village politics, and a deadly accusation after fighting off an attempted rape, Quinn must face the Thing, the ancient Norse court, to prove her innocence. As her trauma resurfaces and her past threatens to crush her, Quinn fights a climactic holmgang duel that becomes both a literal and psychological reckoning. Her journey through this mythic world becomes a trial of identity, resilience, and self‑worth, culminating in a powerful, metaphysical homecoming.
