I'm wondering, why do all the monsters come out at night? / Why do we sleep where we want to hide? / Why do I run back to you, like I don't mind if you fuck up my life?

SUMMARY: while a furious battle rages on in the background, an increasingly frustrated healer tries to save the life of a dying man (Denzel Washington). When she’s left with no other choice than to send for a healer more powerful than herself, she asks her young son to stay by the man’s side until she returns with help. Noticing that the boy is more scared than he is, the injured man offers to tell him a story from his youth…

Many years ago in their kingdom, long before the war, three adventurers journeyed into the woods at the edge of their realm to seek the help of a sorcerer. In the village at the outskirts of the forest, they tried to acquire the services of a guide, but no one would volunteer to help them. There was powerful magic in the woods and it could kill you if you weren’t careful. After many inquiries and desperate offers, at last, a young girl named Vivian (Xochitil Gomez) offers to be their guide in spite of the risks. If she doesn’t come back, she reasons, at least it will be one less mouth to feed for her struggling family.

Impressed by her grim determination and her extensive knowledge of the history of the forest, the party accepts her as their guide and began their dangerous trek into the woods. Along the way, they explain their mission to her, though they are cautious with the details at first. They are seeking the sorcerer Merlin, who was once the magical advisor to their king before he disappeared. They need to find him so that he can help to restore an enchanted relic, without which the king can never hope to maintain his claim to the throne.

As their travels through the forest continue, Vivian comes to the party’s aid as they face off with cursed foes and supernatural threats at every turn and they soon come to trust her with their lives, aa well as their most important secret: they are no ordinary party of adventurers. They are knights of the Round Table, led by King Arthur (John David Washington) himself. Joined by his most trusted knights, Sir Kay (Zendaya) and Sir Lancelot (Sebastian Stan), Arthur must find his former teacher in order to repair the broken Excalibur and quash the threat that a usurper poses to the throne.

Just when it seems their trust in Vivian is going to pay off and they will finally find Merlin, she reveals herself to be the enchantress Nimuë, cursed by the very sorcerer they seek to eternal youth after she insulted him. She has finally taken her revenge on him by trapping him deep in the forest, but the king and his knights will have to defeat her if they hope to rescue the sorcerer and make it out of the woods alive. Arthur, however, can’t shake the feeling that destiny may have lead him to this place for another reason entirely…
