A time-travel adventure that balances action and survival against a medieval backdrop, driven by a rescue mission and the group's bonds rather than deep existential stakes.

A group of archaeological students become trapped in the past when they go there to retrieve their professor. The group must survive in 14th century France long enough to be rescued.
