A high-concept, visually ambitious action-fantasy that weaves together time-travel, alien imprisonment, and historical mysticism across two eras.

Gurus in the late Goryeo dynasty try to obtain a fabled, holy sword, and humans in 2022 hunt down an alien prisoner that is locked in a human's body. The two parties cross paths when a time-traveling portal opens up.
