Before a great story can be told, it must be lived. Down on his luck, Danny (Tim Blake Nelson – HBO’s Watchmen) escapes the world around him by diving deep into the fantasy novels that bring him comfort and joy. Tales of noble knights and daring sword fights. Diving a little too deep, he soon begins to believe that he himself is a great knight. Grabbing his cardboard armour, a sword and roping in his trusty squire Sancho (Jacob Batalon), they embark on an insane adventure, where great lessons are learned along the way.
