Synopsis

As the black death sweeps across the Empire, indiscriminately killing rich and poor alike, the people cling to any hope of deliverance. When a ragged group of scavengers, on the run from Imperial authorities, enter the town of Amorbach, one of them is mistaken for a plague doktor - a sinister figure, but one who brings hope. Can he maintain the deception long enough to escape from the town, or will the truth be discovered?
