"From the dawn of time we came, moving
silently among you, down through the centuries.
Immortals..."
PROLOGUE His name is Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander. He was
born in 1592 in the Highlands of Scotland and he is still alive. He is immortal.
For 400 years he's been a warrior, a lover, a wanderer, a champion. But he is
not alone. There are others like him; some good, some evil. For centuries he
has battled the forces of darkness, constantly facing other immortals in combat
to the death. The winner takes his enemy's head and, with it, his power. I am
a Watcher, part of a secret society of men and women who observe and record
but never interfere. We know the truth about Immortals. In the end there can
be only one -- may it be Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander.

Episode 1 - All of
Us, One of Us STORY Duncan MacLeod, the 400+ year old
Immortal, is at that point in his life where nothing seems to go right. After
the poignant and unfortunate battle between he and kinsman Connor MacLeod, Duncan's
nightmares of the past have haunted him for nearly a year. Although Duncan and
Connor finally agreed to end Connor's misery and put the evil Jacob Kell away,
it was not an easy decision for Duncan.
It is now 2001 and he must revisit Connor's
grave in Glenfinnan, Scotland near the shores of Loch Shiel, where both he and
Duncan were born. A mortal scientist named Heather Wallace - a descendant of
Scottish hero, Sir William Wallace - meets Duncan at a desperate time and foolhardily
falls in love with him. Meanwhile, an Immortal named Kelsius is after Duncan's
head for what he did to half-brother Jacob Kell, whom Duncan avenged against
for Connor's demise. Connor had lost everyone he knew but did not want to lose
Duncan to the hands of Kelsius's half-brother. Kelsius doesn't play by the game
as well, so he's recruited the Highwayman - whom Duncan and Connor humiliated
in the past - as one of his lead henchmen. But that's just the beginning; mortal
but rebel Watchers are abound and they too are not playing by the rules.
Will Duncan get out of this alive? Can his friends
Methos and Joe Dawson keep him out of trouble?
