In 1834 young George White becomes a victim of intrigue. He is arrested in England and sentenced to transportation to ‘parts beyond the seas’ for a period of seven years. We follow him through jails, a Thames prison hulk and the long sea voyage ending in a famous shipwreck. In Australia he finds romance, but they both face many more challenges in a story of adventure, intrigue and romance.
