As revolutionary fever grips the American Colonies, a young man leaves his family in search of freedom. As he moves from bloody battlefields to the elegant plantations of Virginia, and becomes increasingly entangled with the charismatic and elusive Thomas Jefferson, Christian discovers the contradictions at the heart of America's foundation as well as in his own heart.
