Premise
In 1642, Dutch soldier John Amsterdam (Nikolaj Coster Waldau), living in what would later become New York, saves a Native American girl by stepping in front of a sword to save her life. The girl places a spell on him, granting him immortality until he finds his one true love. The spell, proves to be as much a curse as a blessing as he has, over the past three centuries, lost friends and children and is forced to go on.
