Jenette Wilkinson is encouraged by her grandfather to make a trip to Europe to discover her northern heritage. She visits a small town in Norway to see a Viking longboat for herself and has a strange reaction when she touches its hull. On a tour she is taken partway up the mountain that dominates the landscape and when she decides, against her better judgement, to revisit its slopes, more takes place than she ever thought possible.

Somehow, she is thrown into a nineth century Viking world and struggles with a new culture and identity. Only time will tell whether she is able to adapt as flashbacks of her previous life continue to pose problems.

Finally forced to flee the situation, her final decision will have a bearing on the ancestor she had been hoping to find.
