Adam, adolescent tranquille, passe l’été avec ses parents au bord du vaste Lac Supérieur, à la frontière des États-Unis et du Canada. Sa routine se brise quand il se lie d’amitié avec Riley et Nate, deux cousins qui jouent aux petits malins en passant leur temps libre entre débauche, insouciance et sauts périlleux du haut des falaises. La révélation par l’un d’eux d’un blessant secret sur Adam, entraînera plusieurs événements irréversibles qui mettront à rude épreuve leur amitié et les changeront à jamais.

An aging Robin Hood (Connery) is a trusted captain fighting for King Richard the Lionheart (Harris) in France, the Crusades long over. Richard orders him to take a castle that is rumored to hold a gold statue. Discovering that it is defended by a solitary, one-eyed old man (Esmond Knight) who is sheltering harmless women and children, and convinced that there is no statue, Robin and his right-hand man, Little John (Williamson), refuse to attack. King Richard, angry at their insubordination, orders the pair's execution, but before his orders can be carried out, he is mortally wounded by an arrow thrown by the old man. Richard has the helpless residents massacred, with the exception of the old man, because Richard likes his eye. The King asks Robin to pray for mercy for him. When Robin refuses, Richard draws his sword, but lacks the strength to strike him and falls to the floor. Robin helps him, and moved by his loyalty, with his last words, Richard frees Robin and Little John.
