England, 1349 — a nation consumed by the Black Death. Battle-worn and hollowed by years of war, Sir Hugh de Grey, known as the Pale Knight, returns home only to discover his village in ruins and his young son stricken by the plague. Desperate and broken, Hugh turns to heaven for mercy — but it is not God who answers. From the darkness comes Death itself, offering a terrible bargain: the power to save his child, at a price no mortal should pay.
As Hugh’s faith and sanity unravel, he’s drawn into a chilling pact that blurs the line between salvation and damnation. The Pale Knight is a haunting medieval fable of grief, faith, and the cost of defying the natural order — where every prayer carries a shadow.
