1007 D.C. due Vichinghi del Nord Europa approdano sulle coste del Nord America
quando la loro spedizione viene attaccata dai pirati. Da principio i due
superstiti lottano per sopravvivere nelle vaste foreste del Nuovo Mondo, ma poi
le loro strade si dividono. Il primo decide, infatti, di dedicarsi a una ricerca
spirituale, mentre il compare si abbandona ai propri istinti primordiali».

«Many historians contend that Norse explorers settled on the North American
continent long before it was "discovered" by Columbus, and this adventure blends
historical research with the filmmakers' imagination in the tale of two 11th
Century Vikings and their struggle to survive in a new land. Orn (Tony Stone)
and Volnard (Fiore Tedesco) are the only two survivors of a bloody clash between
their Viking clan and a band of Native Americans; aware that their best hope of
survival is to move on, they set out to find a new territory to settle. While
making their way through the wilderness of what is now the Canadian province of
Newfoundland, Orn and Volnard encounter a pair of monks from Ireland who have
escaped from a Viking camp. They quickly slay one of the monks, but they allow
the other (David Perry) to live, and he joins them in their daily battle to
scratch out an existence in the beautiful but forbidding landscapes. Along the
way, Orn wins an unlikely companion, a native woman (Noelle Bailey) who first
saw him as he was laying waste to her village. Severed Ways: The Norse
Discovery of America was the first feature film from writer and director Tony
Stone, who also plays Orn; it received its premiere at the 2007 Los Angeles Film
Festival» (Mark Deming).
