Conor and his crew arrive on an island in search of Tully and Molly, who vanished here days ago. The island's inhabitants, the Maclares, had contacted Conor, eager to join the confederation. Fergus fears the worst; the Maclares are dangerous. Then the hereoes find Tully, unconscious and bleeding in a cage above them.
Catlin takes Tully back to their sanctuary. Conor and Fergus go forward to search for Molly. Conor stops Fergus in mid-step, then uses a branch to trigger a vicious trap in their path. As they crest a hill, they see a Roman encampment. Suddenly, they are ambushed and captured by a band of Maclares led by Megan, a childhood friend of Fergus.
In Megan's village, Conor and Fergus are toseed in a cell, where Molly is alive and well. She says the Maclares never intended to join Conor's alliance – they're in league with Longinus. The next morning they find their cell unlocked. Megan will let them leave if they can evade all her traps. Conor, Fergus and Molly leave the village. Megan follows them and is dismayed to find none of her traps have been triggered. In the forest, Molly tells Fergus and Conor they should hide, not run. They take refuge in a cave – after its traps have been triggered.
Later, Longinus and Queen Diana pass the cave and Conor overhears that their plan is for him to die on this island. The heroes brave the forest, but Conor falls into a trap pit. As Fergus and Molly try to help him, Megan and her soldiers push them in on top of Conor. Conor wakes to find an injured Fergus beside him, but Molly has disappeared. Looking around, Conor and Fergus see that a tunnel offers an exit from the bottom of the pit.
Far away in the tunnels, Molly meets Cormac, a hermit who knows all the traps on the island. He'll guide Molly and her friends out; all he wants in return are seeds to replenish his crops.
Conor and Fergus return to the forest; the injured Fergus tells Conor to find Molly. After Conor leaves, Catlin finds Fergus and helps him to the beach. But when they get there, they find their boat has been burned. They soon reunite with Conor, Molly and Cormac. Conor tells the others to build a raft, then he has Cormac lead him back through all the traps. Diana searches the forest with her soldiers; suddenly her soldiers fall victim to a trap – and she is captured by Conor.
Longinus and Megan follow a trail of triggered traps to a cave, where they find Diana holding a rope that prevents a trap from killing her. Conor stands to one side, ready to cut the rope unless Longinus leaves the island empty-handed. Cormac shows himself and tells Megan – his wife! – that she can stop dealing in traps because he now has enough seeds to replenish the crops. Megan calls off her deal with Longinus, who leaves Diana at the mercy of the trap. Conor spares Diana and returns to the beach, where he and his crew depart for their island on their new raft.
