Henri is the outsider, an Algerian - born
frenchman who has fled the war, and the catalyst for Francois to
find his identity.
Upon their arrival, two indentured
Frenchmen, sickly Charles Duquet and sturdy René Sel, are shocked by the harshness of the land and the brutality of their master and soon
find themselves caught up in the struggling colony's battles against the Native people, the English, and nature itself.
