When the heir of the imperial throne becomes the target of assassination by his despised older brother, the young prince's only hope is the protection of his sister, and the reluctant aid of a war-weary Crusader, Jacob (Hayden Christensen), who must overcome his own personal demons and rally the assistance of the legendary Crusader-turned-bandit and Jacob's mentor, Gallain (Nicolas Cage) also known as the white ghost, to return the prince to his rightful place on the throne.
