Description

Based on actual historical events that took place in 17th Century Europe, Recompense presents a fictional portrayal of how the devastating bubonic plague, the "Black Death," disrupted the everyday lives of inhabitants in the small Alpine village of Oberammergau, Germany. The response of the villagers was to institute their renowned Passion Play, still faithfully re-enacted every ten years as an expression of gratitude for cessation of the deadly malady.

Brandon St. Clair, a young San Francisco attorney, has joined a tour group traveling to attend a present-day performance of the Passion Play. What he cannot foresee or explain is his mystical mental "return" to Old Oberammergau, where he observes himself as a young boy caught up in the cataclysmic events of the time. Equally inexplicable is the fact that several members of his tour group also appear to have "counter-parts" in the mountain hamlet.

The catastrophe of the plague is echoed in near disaster for the tour group on their return flight home. Captain Kaspar Schisler's response to this crisis serves as recompense for the calamity he helped bring about in the past.
