Set in the post-civil war era, the true story of the legendary Ward Allen, an Aristocrat-turned-market hunter, his business partner - a freed slave named Christmas Moultrie, and the love of his life, free-spirited Lucy Stubbs. As the changing times force the brilliant but troubled Ward to challenge the government to recognize his rights as a market hunter, Ward fights to preserve his love, his life-long friendship with Moultrie and above all, his cherished way of life on the river.
