John Jewitt, a blacksmith turned captive, shares his harrowing survival tale from 1803 to 1806 among the Nuu-chah-nulth people of Nootka Sound, Canada. After a deadly attack on his trading vessel, Jewitt finds himself spared by tribal chief Maquinna, only to be enslaved and put to work repairing weaponry and crafting survival tools.
