Ryan Baxter is a convict aboard the Neptune. Hes serving a seven-year sentence for rallying the poor against their employers. Captain (Sir) Roland Delaney is also aboard the Neptune. His uncle, the earl of Rothsleigh, has bought him a commission in the Royal Marines because he suspects him of making several attempts on his life. The colony is starving and when a convict is found guilty of pilfering food hes hung. His guilt, however, is questionable, and Ryan sets out to prove his innocence, knowing little of the danger hes about to encounter.
