Synopsis

The two leading characters of the series are immigrants arriving in New France to work for three years in indentured servitude as punishment for crimes committed elsewhere. Rene (Christian Cooke) is a woodcutter â€” a barkskin, and Charles (James Bloor) is a thief who has no intention of serving his time. A nun, Mother Sabrine, and the young ladies who arrive on the same immigrant ship that carried RenÃ© and Charles. The women are there to be groomed into proper women and subsequently married off.
