A young married couple is willing to break the traditional stereotypes imposed by their families and by London society during the second half of the 19th century. To achieve their goal, they decide to risk everything and venture into the territories of the promising power nation: the United States, specifically Louisiana.
They reach to the land that will become their new home taking with them their life savings. However, the reality that awaits them there is overwhelming: it is marked by slavery, influence peddling, racism, machismo and a lot of social violence.
The outlook is not encouraging at all; however, instead of getting discouraged, they turn that challenge into the fuel of their fight to change those difficult circumstances. Then, destiny adds a group of friends; whose they will undertake with them what will be the greatest adventure of their lives.
