When Christianity came to Ireland in the 600s, there was no turmoil during the conversions. Still ... not everyone was happy. As Brother Kevin begins to baptism a young woman, her angry grandmother swears a curse on the young monk. She plans his death, but also his perverse resurrection as a strange creature with an empty head. An empty skull. And the curse upon him is to wander the earth until such a day as he fills his empty skull with all knowledge. Unable to die, unable to live, Empty Skull roams the earth seeking to fill his empty skull.
