## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The A-Team meets Robin Hood with a side of contempt. A gang of cutthroat mercenaries storms a castle after getting stiffed by a nobleman only to find his son’s bride waiting inside. Trapped by war and plague they gamble everything on a dwindling supply of cruelty and luck. Rutger Hauer’s grin outmuscles the siege engines.

**Mood tags**: dread, raw
