It's 1729. On the secret island of Santa Campana, Edward Teach, better known as the barbarous pirate Blackbeard (Emmy® Award winner John Malkovich), reigns 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. But 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… Watch every episode back-to-back and uninterrupted, and discover a world of action, adventure and intrigue—where one can never be sure just who is hero and who is villain.
