1619, Virginia: on what feels like the edge of the world sits the British colony of Jamestown. For 12 years, it has been populated only by men, but the settlement is shaken up when the first women, including Alice (Sophie Rundle), Verity (Niamh Walsh) and Jocelyn (Naomi Battrick), land in this breathtaking wilderness. Twisting story-lines follow the disruptive new arrivals as they make an immediate impact and are thrust into a new world of love, desire, power and survival.
