It is 1814 and James Delaney (Tom Hardy) reappears in London, a changed and haunted man, presumed dead in Africa many years before. His return finds his father, Horace Delaney (Edward Fox), dead and a country at war with France and the United States. Set to inherit what is left of his father's shipping empire, James's arrival not only threatens to disrupt the plans of his half-sister Zilpha (Oona Chaplin) and her husband Thorne (Jefferson Hall), but also the political ambitions of the mighty East India Company, chaired by Sir Stuart Strange (Jonathan Pryce).
