Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Frank Miller and Thomas Wheeler, CURSED catches up with the Lady of the Lake of Arthurian legend back when she was just a young girl named Nimue (Katherine Langford). Many of the people in her magical village view her as a witch and despise her, yet Nimue's priestess mother, Lenore (Catherine Wilson), knows her daughter has extraordinary powers. When Nimue is chosen as her clan's spiritual leader, she attempts to flee to a new life with her best friend, Pym (Lily Newmark), and makes the acquaintance of a handsome young knight named Arthur (Devon Terrell). Meanwhile, her village is set upon by the Red Paladins, a ruthless band of religious reformers led by Father Carden (Peter Mullan), who are intent on ridding the domain of King Uther Pendragon (Sebastian Armesto) of magic, despite relying on the imperfect sorcery of court wizard Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgard), perhaps the only being alive who recognizes what Nimue's powers herald.
