This science documentary chronicles how farming people from the Nordic countries became great seafarers, colonizing distant lands across Europe and into Asia. The film's director travels "in-the-footsteps-of" Leifur Eiriksson to sites which hold evidence of the wanderers' attempts to establish life in North America, before ultimately yielding to Indians and a changing climate.
