Spoilers ahead
Set during the French and Indian War in 1757, the Munro family—Cora Munro Julie Bishop, Alice Munro Evelyn Ankers, and Davy Munro Robert “Buzz” Henry—travels from England to visit their father, Colonel Munro, who commands Fort William Henry in the American colonies. The British frontier is tense, and French strategy runs through every rumor: Montcalm’s forces and their Native allies are said to be moving from the south, aided by ruses that blur the lines between friend and foe. The chasing deception is orchestrated in part by General Webb [Frederick Worlock], the Fort Edward commander, who has been swayed by Magua Buster Crabbe, a cunning Iroquoian scout with a long memory and a venomous grudge.
