After her family are slaughtered and she loses her unborn child in an Indian attack, Bridgenorth seeks revenge. Volunteering for Perry’s crew, she must physically hide her femininity and disguise herself as a man, ‘William’. She must also control her anger and self-imposed isolation to become part of the team. But at the Battle of the Thames, she instinctively saves an Indian child from the massacre – and finally finds redemption and a new purpose in life.
