When 16th-century Scottish warrior Conner MacLeod is murdered by the barbaric Kurgan and mysteriously resurrects, he learns he is one of an ancient race of Immortals—doomed to duel through the centuries until only one remains to claim the Prize. After 500 years of loss, love, and ruthless training under the manipulative mentor Ramirez, MacLeod hides as a New York history professor, haunted by his past. But when the murderous Kurgan resurfaces, MacLeod is forced from the shadows into a final, brutal confrontation through the streets of Manhattan—where the Prize isn't power, but the freedom to finally live.
