It's the Golden age of Piracy and a young Alastair Walpole is beckoned towards the new world.
Coming from less than humble beginnings he is attempting to make his way in the world.
But when he marries a high born girl against her father's wishes, his life gets a whole lot more complicated. Providing for your wife is no easy task on a thieves income.
And when the people he calls his friends.....dare he say family.....betray him and leave him rotting in a ditch, he has no choice but to flee England in search of a better life.
But greed and ambition follow closely in his wake, leading him into more than a few sticky positions.
