On their voyage across the seas, they soon find out that not everyone on board can be trusted.

该剧是经典小说《金银岛》（Treasure Island）的前传，故事发生在小说时间的「20年之前」，那时Flint船长（Toby Stephens）和他的「Walrus号」尚未成名。该剧将在南非开普敦拍摄，初步定于2014年播出（填补《斯巴达克斯》三部曲终结后的空档），首季为8集。Flint是文学史上最有名海盗角色之一，也是海盗黄金时代的代表人物。他和一些人在新普罗维登斯岛上建立了被称为「海盗天堂」的无政府社区，并为维持新普罗维登斯的存在而与各种敌对势力交战。在这个罪犯的避风港里，除了来自四面八方的海盗外，还有形形色色的妓女、强盗、小偷和寻宝客。Hannah New扮演美丽、勇敢、自信的酒馆老板娘Eleanor，黑白两道都很熟。她一方面帮助低贱的海盗销赃，另一方面也为有钱有势的头面人物举办舞会。Zach McGowan扮演Charles Vane船长，是Flint船长的竞争对手。Luke Arnold扮演传说中的著名水手John Silver，但他当时和Flint一样没有名气。来自《秘社》的Jessica Parker Kennedy扮演一个受到折磨的年轻妓女，是新普罗维登斯岛黑暗面的见证人。Mark Ryan扮演Flint船长的得力助手Gates。
