Dans la campagne austère d'Islande, un village reculé vit de manière séculaire de l'élevage des moutons. Les paysans, qui constituent une communauté solidaire, aiment leurs moutons comme des enfants et organisent chaque année un concours de la plus belle bête. Gummi et Kiddi, deux frères célibataires âgés et hirsutes, qui vivent dans deux maisons voisines en s'ignorant et en se haïssant, ne se sont plus parlé depuis quarante ans. Malgré cette mésentente, ils gèrent chacun de leur côté, sans se parler, la ferme de leur père disparu, constituée de plusieurs centaines de moutons. Dans ce paysage où la vie et la tradition semblent immuables, une très mauvaise nouvelle tombe comme un couperet : certaines bêtes de la vallée, contaminées par l'importation d'ovins d'Angleterre, sont atteintes de la tremblante du mouton et les services sanitaires seront intransigeants et intraitables.

Michael Bryce, l'un des meilleurs gardes du corps au monde, est engagé par son ex, l'agent Amélia Roussel, pour protéger rien de moins que son propre ennemi juré, le tueur à gages Darius Kincaid après que ce dernier ait été blessé au cours d'une tentative d'assassinat. En effet, Kincaid doit témoigner et apporter les preuves des crimes contre l'humanité perpétrés par le dictateur biélorusse Vladislav Dukhovich devant la Cour pénale internationale de La Haye dans les 24 heures. Les autres témoins ont soit été assassinés, soit n'ont aucune preuve de ces crimes malgré leur témoignage, et Kincaid est donc le dernier obstacle entre le dictateur et l'acquittement et son retour au pouvoir. Mais Dukhovich va tout tenter pour les arrêter.

In the fifteen years that follow, Hansel and Gretel become famed witch hunters, slaying hundreds of witches.
