Immortals Connor and Duncan Macleod join forces against a man from Connor's distant past in the highlands of Scotland, Kell, an immensely powerful immortal who leads an army of equally powerful and deadly immortal swordsmen and assassins. No immortal alive has been able to defeat Kell yet, and neither Connor nor Duncan are skilled enough themselves to take him on and live. The two of them eventually come to one inevitable conclusion; one of them must die so that the combined power of both the Highlanders can bring down Kell for good. There can be only one... the question is, who will it be?
Connor MacLeod, now an old man living in seclusion, is drawn back into the eternal battle when a new, powerful immortal named Kellerec emerges. Kellerec has been slaughtering Immortals, absorbing their power and memories, and seeks to challenge Connor. To save humanity from Kellerec's destructive path, Connor must confront his own past and mortality, aided by a group of allies who believe in his cause.
