LOGLINE:

An elite 16th century Assassin sets out on a dangerous journey to rescue the children he was ordered to kidnap through the use of a magic flute.

SYNOPSIS:

A group of German noblemen conspire to rid themselves of a blackmailer by enlisting the services of an elite and shadowy group of assassins. They are sent the Piper, a skilled killer who also possesses an enchanted flute. When the aristocrats refuse to pay for the killing, the Piper is ordered to abduct all of the local children.

Believing this very act would be enough to frighten a payment out of them, the Piper is shocked to learn that his superiors intend to keep the children and train them as the next generation of assassins. Piper fails to save them and returns to Hamelin, injured, where he discovers one child remains; an orphaned girl who did not follow the flute because she is deaf.

Some years later, a young man who was thrown away by the assassins due to a crippled leg happens upon the Piper and the orphan by chance. He enlists their aid in rescuing his friend and the other kidnapped children, who's whereabouts he has recently discovered. The three set out on a quest of swords, intrigue, betrayal and redemption.
