A paladin and death-knight soul-forged together must break their bond.

Facts from the source article.
Gameplay
Gameplay builds on Divine Divinity but allows control of two characters, each with separate stats and equipment. The game has four acts; the first is linear but opens up, and later acts offer more freedom. Each act provides a new summoning doll, such as a skeleton doll in Act 1 that can wield a crossbow. Summons can be directly controlled or used to carry loot. Each act also contains a Battlefield with merchants and optional randomly generated dungeons, accessible via teleport once unlocked.
Synopsis
Set twenty years after the original game, the story follows a paladin who hunts necromancers. During a battle with a necromancer, a demon named Samuel drags the paladin into another universe and soul-forges him to a death-knight. The two must find a way to break the forging, or remain linked eternally.
