Der Tod seiner großen Liebe, die er nicht zu retten vermag, treibt einen jungen kräuterkundigen Heiler fort aus seinem Dorf, um Vergessen und Vergebung zu finden. Auf seiner Wanderung durch das pestverseuchte Europa des 15. Jahrhunderts bietet er seine Heilkünste an, wo immer sie gebraucht werden.

Auf seiner Reise durch Welten und Zeiten begleiten ihn die unterschiedlichsten Weggefährten, und er muss zahlreiche Gefahren bestehen: Er wird von Wegelagerern überfallen, auf dem Balkan gelyncht, geht auf hoher See über Bord und erreicht schließlich Jerusalem. Doch die größte Herausforderung erwartet ihn noch.
