1773 The streets of Boston are filled with protesters, and in the wilderness of North Carolina, the huts of lonely settlers are burning - the first alarming harbingers of the approaching American Revolution. In this chaos, the Governor calls on Jamie Fraser to unite the people to protect the English colony and maintain the king's power. Jamie knows from his wife Claire that in two years something irreparable will happen, and whoever remains loyal to the king will either be dead or sent into exile. Despite everything, Claire and Jamie once again hope that their family, which knows no boundaries of time, can change the future.
