Henry, forced with his family from their Scottish Highlands farm, travels to the American colonies when tragedy strikes the ship. His angry response to the trauma upon arrival is to enlist in the Continental Army, seeking revenge on the British that decimated his homestead.
Catherine, who operates the family plantation with her ailing mother, welcomes Henry for a prolonged visit despite her personal reservations. Her mother finds the addition of an eligible bachelor for her daughter a delightful opportunity. His reluctance at the mother's enormous request begs the question of whether his moral compass will align with her wishes.
Will they manage to find love, healing, and hope for the future... Before the Sun Sets?
