- Synopsis
- When 12-year-old Mickey Miller moves from New York to Ireland, she discovers a link between herself and the 300-year-old legend of the mysterious Black Knight, who regularly haunts the sleepy Irish village. With courage and a sharp mind, she sets out to save a precious herd of white horses and to thwart the evil plans of a greedy, ambitious woman…
  
  Crumbling castles, mysterious riddles, frightening spirits, beautiful horses and a plucky, fearless heroine – director Lisa Mulcahy has lovingly burnished the most beloved coming-of-age elements in this "quest" film in which a young girl overcomes great adversity and learns that doing the right thing often requires dogged determination and unwavering self-confidence. Set in the starkly beautiful landscapes of rural Ireland, the film also boasts eye-popping effects worthy of the Hogwarts School and its young wizards.
