The movie is set in the 17th centuries. The French Jesuits venture into the wilderness of North America to convert the “savages” to Christianity. Father LaForgue is assigned to serve a remote mission, 1500 miles from Quebec. He sets out on a journey that becomes a struggle against hunger, cold, and exhaustion. The journey tests the mind, body, and soul of the priest. The priest who dreams of becoming a martyr finds out that he underestimated the ordeal involved in his fate and the test to which his faith is put. An Algonquin Indians have been hired by the religious community to escort him on the long and dangerous journey.
