When the drunken Diarmid MacLyon abducts and forcibly marries the young Mary Elisabeth Grant, the impulsive act has consequences that neither could foresee. Disowned by his father, his homestead and new wife savaged by His Majesty's troops in the retaliation after the Battle of Culloden Moor, MacLyon is captured and shipped off to indenture in the colonies. While his proud Highlander character refuses to bend his back for another man, Mary undergoes her own degrading odyssey to free the man who ruined her innocence and with whom she has fallen in love.
