Bruc. The manhunt

When the most perfect war machine ever known to mankind suffers its first defeat at the hands of a simple drummer boy, Napoleon sends six of his toughest mercenaries on a single mission: to bring back his head.

After murdering his loved ones, the gang of warriors set out to hunt him down in the remote and sacred mountains of Montserrat.

The drummer boy, named Bruc after the site of the battle, must fight single-handedly to survive and avenge his family.

He becomes a symbol of freedom and hope for his nation, a hero who managed what no one else had ever done before: to defeat the invincible army of Napoleon Bonaparte.
