The true story of Beowulf as told by an old man who was there. At least that is what Grimm is telling 21st Century London schoolboy Jamie.When South London schoolboy Jamie goes to Wimbledon to photocopy some pictures for his school project on the Old English poem 'Beowulf', he little thinks that his life will never quite be the same again. Deciding to exchange his bus fare home for a hamburger, Jamie somehow ends up in the company of a very weird old man for whom everything seems to have stopped in the time of the Anglo-Saxons.
