In rural 17th-century England, a group of men gather to carry a coffin on the long walk to the local graveyard for burial. Much ancient folklore and superstition surround the pathway to the church, and several of the party are afraid to walk it after dark. Squire Marlow, the grieving father of the dead man, promises to double their wages if they agree to make the mysterious journey full of unexpected revelations.

In the aftermath of a devastating defeat by his archnemesis Admiral Smee, the notorious Captain James Hook finds refuge in the coastal town of Eldritch Landing, where he forms an unlikely alliance with Silas Blackweather, a local blacksmith seeking retribution for his sister's murder. As they evade Smee's Redcoat Soldiers in the island's dense woodland, ruthless sword fights, ancient curses and conflicting motives will challenge their shared quest for revenge. Together, Hook and Silas navigate uncharted waters to confront the treacherous Admiral Smee, embarking on a journey that will redefine Captain Hook's enduring legacy.
