In the darkest days of the Meconian Empire, tyranny reigned throughout the land until a glimmer of hope arrived the son of a blacksmith and a stay-at-home mum, a man of unwavering determination: Krod Mandoon (Sean Maguire, Meet The Spartans), the last great hope in the struggle against the evil ruler, Chancellor Dongalor (Matt Lucas, Little Britain).
To assist in the great fight, Krod has assembled a band of remarkably ineffectual freedom fighters: Aneka (India de Beaufort, Run, Fatboy, Run), the beautiful Pagan warrioress whose weapon of choice is sex; Loquasto (Steve Speirs, Pirates Of The Caribbean, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace), the oafish servant with bad aim; Zezelryck (Kevin Hart, Scary Movie 3 & 4, Along Came Polly), the young warlock whose greatest magical gift is spinning a line; and Bruce (comedian Marques Ray), bereaved lover of Krod's late mentor General Arcadius.
Together, they must overcome a myriad of obstacles in their quest to save the world, including name-calling, hired assassins and bad hair days. Will they succeed?
