Summary:
A life of petty crime and poverty on the streets of 19th-century London sentences William Thornhill-- along with his wife and children-- to exile in the colonial outpost of Australia. But among the convicts of New South Wales there is a whisper of the possibility of freedom, away from Sydney and up the Hawkesbury River, for those who dare to stake a claim.
