Talis, a knave who aspires to be a knight, is unwittingly catapulted through the warps of time from the Dark Ages to the 21st century. Mistaken for a foreign exchange student, he resides in the suburban home of the Field family. He tries hard to follow his quest, which is to fulfil the thousand tasks set for him by Merlin. When the tasks are completed, Talis will qualify for a knighthood at the Arthurian Round Table. His unpredictable and eccentric reactions to a modern world he does not comprehend cause surprise and confusion to those around him.
