A punch leads to Colin’s transportation to the other side of the world. Aggie Gibbs is a young convict girl pursued by a rogue soldier. The two are thrown together in a town of felons and lustful men. Captain John Hunter is Colin’s mentor, and he paves the way for a new life for his young friends. Then disaster strikes, and he must leave.
