"Passion, betrayal, and a thirst for freedom – experience an epic journey on the eve of the American Revolution."
Based on John Jakes' bestselling novel, The Bastard (also known as Kent Family Chronicles) is a magnificent historical drama that depicts the fate of a young man during a transformative period in world history. Volume 1 takes us to the beginning of the journey, where the rules of a class-based society meet the promise of a new world.
At the heart of the story is Phillipe Charboneau (Andrew Stevens), the illegitimate son of a French nobleman. When Phillipe travels to England to claim his rightful inheritance, he is met only with scorn and danger. Forced to flee, he sails across the seas to the American colonies, where discontent with British rule is simmering. Phillipe soon finds himself in the midst of historical events that will ultimately lead to American independence.
