Plot

Amid the Civil War in 17th-century England, a group of deserters flee from battle through an overgrown field. Captured by an alchemist, the men are forced to help him search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field.

Fleeing for their lives, a small party abandon their Civil War confederates and escape through an overgrown field. Thinking only of what lays behind, they are ambushed by two dangerous men and made to search the field. Psychedelia, madness, and chaotic forces slowly overtake the group as they question what treasure lies within the malignant field.—jessgiostan

Fleeing the aftermath of a battle in the English civil war, Whitehead, a nervous Royalist and former assistant to a late alchemist, finds himself in the company of three simple-minded, good-natured Roundhead recruits who are less interested in continuing the battle than finding the nearest ale-house. They encounter the bullying - and armed - O'Neil, who is also in the employment of the alchemist and has stolen his papers, forcing Whitehead to divine for gold in the field. Whitehead locates a metal box and the begins digging, but greed, fear, the need for self-preservation, and an accidental meal of 'magic' mushrooms means that death will soon be visiting the field - or will it?—don @ minifie-1
