Tuppence to Pass. London 1800s to Parramatta 1820s. Josh Callan is a London lad making the most of the life dealt to him. Stealing from the man who killed his father gives the family a new direction. Josh gets arrested for theft, but the judge belittles him, saying he's not worth tuppence. He is transported to the penal colony of Sydney as a convict as Governor Macquarie's term begins. He proves his worth and lands on his feet, becoming the governor's groom and confidante. Life in the Colonial town opens opportunities they could never have dreamed about in England, but can Josh find his niche? Where will this strange friendship take him?
