He lives a solitary life now with his wife Bela in a rural region of the English country - dedicating much of his time to caring for his home and the less fortunate in-line with his Christian values. One day, he hears word of a group of pagans worshipping a tree in a neighbouring forest and, outraged by such "heresy", journeys out - determined to chop down this sacred tree. As he makes his way through the forest, he encounters the Devil - who is determined to stop him by any means necessary.
