1652 - On the verge of desperation, a well nurtured and sheltered young woman flees for her life after witnessing the brutal murder of her father and finds refuge on a ship bound for the untamed southern tip of Africa, inadvertently becoming a stowaway; but in the shadows lurks someone that sees her as not just a stowaway but a witness who must be silenced. Faced with danger, loss, and hardship, she must learn to trust herself, find her inner strength, embrace her tenacity and resilience before confronting the pivotal choice between following her heart or surrendering to the path fate has laid out for her.
