Jamaica, 1720. In the misty heights of the Blue Mountains, far from the plantations and army camps of British rule, a community of escaped slaves — the Maroons — are forging a life of freedom.
But when British forces march into the forests to crush them, one leader rises to meet the threat: Queen Nanny. A spiritual guide, master of guerrilla warfare, and keeper of ancient obeah knowledge, she leads her people in a fierce stand for survival — and liberty. Their resistance will become legend.
