We enter the Matrix one more time. The story of our beloved heroes continues where it once concluded. It's not a reboot. It's a resurrection.

What was done before can be done some more. It's a tale as old as Highlander I. Conor McLeod is beset by a savage enemy and is haunted by his long life battles for the Prize...

[frustrated sigh] ... Couldn't they have just stopped at one?

This week the Specht Brothers begin a tumultuous journey. In the far off land that is New York City, the last of the Immortals are drawn to final battle in the Gathering, to compete for the Prize.

It's a tale of swordfights, beheadings, love and loss, beheadings, Sean Connery, stabbings, beheadings, while Queen does the music! We know what you're thinking...how could there be only one...
