Inspired by a short story, His Great Power Toucheth Me, written on-the-fly at the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival, Blood recasts the events of that story in the New World at the turn of the previous century, when the New World represented hope and dreams for everyone in the Old World -- including those who had best be staying in the Old World. A group of Pirate Lords, meeting to arrange their territory, swap tales of adventures. One finally stands and tells a story too outrageous to believe, but too compelling to ignore.
