The tarred bodies served as a warning to others.\n \nIn the midst of this, a forbidden love affair between a French prisoner and an unlikely local woman.\n \nWhile imprisoned on Melville Island, the prisoner faces the agonizing question: What would his fate be if the British discovered that he had shot and killed Lord Nelson at Trafalgar? While weighing the risks of an escape attempt, he tries to conceal his dangerous secret.\n
