The premise

Great Britain. 150AD. When four messengers sent by Rome to a plague infected Caledonia, with a message of peace and help for their King, go missing Rome has no choice but to send ten of their finest across Hadrian's Wall to find and bring them back. Led by their Captain, Domitius, (George McCluskey, "The Zombie King"), and two of their strongest warriors, Grackus, (Stuart Brennan, "Risen") and Nerva, (Mark Paul Wake, "Plan Z"), the legion soon realise that what lays in wait for them is something much worse than any plague or army known to man - And with them being picked off one by one on their journey back to the wall by a beast none of them can match, and survival being their only hope, will there be anyone left to warn Rome of the dangers it may now face. Fight For Rome. Fight For Caesar. Fight To Survive.

Horror Vault's take

Set against the wild, unforgiving terrain beyond Hadrian's Wall in 150AD, a squad of Rome's finest soldiers ventures into plague-ravaged Caledonia on a rescue mission — only to find themselves hunted by something far deadlier than disease or enemy warriors. As their numbers dwindle and the boundary of the known world closes in around them, the legionaries must confront a terror that no Roman training could have prepared them for. Part ancient war film, part creature-feature, Wolf pits disciplined soldiers against primal, unstoppable horror in a race to make it back alive.
