Description
It's 1729. On the island of Santa Campana, Edward Teach, better known as the barbarous pirate Blackbeard (Primetime Emmy Award winner John Malkovich), reign over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreants.
Blackbeard orchestrates a massive attack on an English vessel in an attempt to steal an invention that will change the world. However, he is thwarted by Tom Lowe (Richard Coyle), an undercover English spy whose mission is to protect the secrets of the device and to assassinate Blackbeard, should the opportunity arise. Taken as prisoner to the island, Lowe must find a way to uncover Blackbeard's master plan - a plan that includes a greater threat to the English throne than merely pirates...
