Allie Pennington (Britt Robertson) is a transfer student at Avalon High. Unlike her past, this time she will be going to Avalon High for 3 years. When she first gets to Avalon, she meets William "Will" Wagner (Gregg Sulkin), the star quarter back and practically the most popular guy at Avalon. On her way to class, she sees an innocent kid, Miles (Joey Pollari) getting bullied by Marco (Devon Graye), Will's evil stepbrother.
During class, she sits next to Miles who suddenly feels pain and orders Allie to tie her shoes - even though they were. Mr. Moore announces that they will be studying the story of King Arthur. Will coincidentally gets sports in Camelot. Will's girlfriend, Jen (Molly C. Quinn) gets the tragedy of Camelot ( Lancelot and Guinevere's betrayal against Arthur ). Allie - who made to partner Miles - gets the Order of the Bear.
After school, Allie tries out for the school track team. While trying out she sees the football practice; however, her eyes see them as knights.
At home, Miles comes to Allie's home to study up on the Order of the Bear with Allie. While studying, Miles strangely feels pain [again] and goes to get ice for Allie, right before she hits her leg on the wall. Allie and Miles go ask Allie's parents ( who are medieval professors ) about the Order of Bear. They tell them that the Order of the Bear was a group of people who believe that King Arthur will one day be reincarnated. Allie asks when this particular time will happen, at which her mom says that Arthur will return when he leads the world out of the dark. Coincidentally, Arthur's evil step brother, Mordred, will be returning also, to ruin Arthur's life and ensure that darkness triumphs.
In the middle of the night, Allie wakes up and reads the Order of the Bear book again; but this time she finds a crown on one page and an exact drawing of Avalon High School on the other, even though it's supposed to be Camelot.
The next day, after class with Mr. Moore, he asks her if she found any information on the Order of the Bear. Allie tells him that she finds it doubtful that there will be a reincarnation of King Arthur. However, like Allie's mom, Mr. Moore too believes the King Arthur will be reincarnated. Allie suggests that she could bring the prophecy tomorrow for him, though he declines.
When she comes out of the classroom, Miles immediately interrogates her if whether she is in trouble or not. He tells her that he refuses to be friends with a trouble maker, despite that he continually tells her he's not her friend. She questions him to see if he's finally admitting that they are friends, but he admits nothing. Miles keeps on asking what Mr. Moore wanted. Allie finally tells him that they were just talking about the Order of the Bear prophecy.
On their way to the cafeteria, Allie spots Lance and Jen flirting with each other. But they immediately get away from each other when they notice that Allie caught them flirting with each other.
After school, Allie goes running around the school when her cap falls off. She goes running after it. Coincidentally, it ends up in Will's hands. He hands her the cap back and they start talking. She asks him what he's doing out here and Will answers that he's running and thinking about his life. He tells her that everyone only talks about football around him and he can't think of anything else to talk about. Will admits that football used to mean everything to him, but now he feels too much pressure from everyone counting on him to win the football game and trying to win a football scholarship. However, he needs one, otherwise he won't get accepted into a college. She tries to comfort him and tells him that the only way to take the pressure off is to remember how victory felt like. Allie invites Will to her house for burgers.
Will comes over to Allie's house for burgers. At Allie's house, all Allie's parents talked about was football, making Will's statement very accurate. The next day, Will has a party to celebrate them winning the game. Miles likes this pretty girl but he's letting his fear take place and he's not stopping it. At the party there was a scream coming from the backyard, because Marco put fake bugs on all the food scaring the guests and he then says regrets his mother marrying Will's dad. Allie called Will "kinda perfect" then she restated it as "his game was perfect". Miles had a vision of Jen and Lance being together. Allie tries to find a bathroom and she comes upon Will's room and sees his Prom King Crown and it made Allie think of King Arthur's crown that she found in the book a few days ago. She tries to find the bathroom again and she sees Jen and Lance together holding hands in a room all by themselves. Allie takes a second look but Jen and Lance see her and Allie runs away, Jen goes after Allie wanting to explain what was going on. Jen catches up to her and brings her to a room where no one would know what was going on. She tells Allie that even though she was dating Will she was really in love with Lance. She tries to make Allie promise not to tell Will but Allie runs away before she promises Jen anything. She meets Miles on Will's front porch and she looks back to see Will looking at her. As Will walks forward to talk to her she grabs Miles' arm and pulls him away from the door. Will watches them leave until Lance comes up to the door and asks if everything was okay. Allie soon learns that Will is King Aruthur and Marco is Mordred; Allie's parents tells Allie and Miles that everything would happen on the night of the big game. On the night of the game,Will finds out about Lance and Jen's secret relationship. Will gets his car and drives away from the school because he is upset. Allie runs after him and tells Will he is King Arthur. He gets mistaken and thinks that he's like King Arthur. At the game he forgets his helmet in the locker room and Allie waits for him in the crowd. She went back in the locker room but cant find him there, Miles says he saw Will in a vision and that hes in the theater room. While there they see Will and also Marco on the ground, and after accusing Marco, Will says that he's good. Mr Moore tells them he himself is actually Mordred. As Mr Moore tries to kill them, Marco pushes Mr Moore off the stage. Allie does not understand how Mr Moore is Mordred. While Marco explains, Mr Moore regains his power and transforms into Mordred. He uses his power and using his cane pushes Marco and Will. Allie gets a toy sword and while holding it, it turns into an actual sword. They find out that Allie is really the reincarnation of King Arthur. After being transported into a beach scene, they battle against Mordred ( Mr. Moore). After winning the battle, the sword turns back into a toy sword and Mr Moore is last seen being taking away by the police. Then they go back to the game. They win the football game, and Will and Allie share a kiss and run off the field. Lance and Jen get together, and Miles gets his girl as well. In the end credits it shows Allie, Will, Jen, Marco, Lance and Miles at the Round Table.
