Allie Pennington (Britt Robertson), the daughter of two medieval literature scholars, transfers to Avalon High without knowing she is going to find herself drawn into a prophecy about the reincarnation of King Arthur. Her being there is not an accident. As the movie unravels she becomes friends with two guys: Will, quarterback and the most likely to be Arthur, and Miles who, with his psychic flashes, is most likely the reincarnation of Merlin. As she seems top have fallen right into the unraveling of the prophecy she takes on a protective role, trying to guard Will from the evil stepbrother (Mordred) who is out to destroy Arthur, and in doing so, sending the world into another Dark Age.[3]
