Around the Petersons live whalers, escaped convicts, French settlers and squatters, each adding to the tensions of their unfamiliar community. Their house has its own history, connected to its former inhabitant Étienne La Rochelle and his Māori lover. When Daniel's daughter Hester finds La Rochelle's journal, she encounters a story that opens new possibilities and dangers.
