When Hank Morgan, an engineer from East Hartford, Connecticut, suffers a blow to the head, he inexplicably finds himself transported from his nineteenth-century home to Middle Ages England during the reign of King Arthur.

Using his knowledge of science and technology, Hank must navigate an unfamiliar medieval world whose idyllic façade covers a harsh and unforgiving underbelly.
