But tensions are mounting and Mehuru and the other slaves are prepared to risk everything for their freedom. Lonely in her new life married to a boorish and uneducated husband with whom she has little in common, Frances finds herself increasingly drawn to Mehuru and he to her.
Among the slaves is the educated and charismatic Mehuru (Ariyon Bakare). Trading her social contacts for Josiah's protection, Frances enters the world of the Bristol merchants and finds her life and fortune dependent on the respectable trade of sugar, rum and slaves.
An arranged marriage to Frances Scott (Emma Fielding) is a mutually convenient solution. But he needs ready cash and a well-connected wife. Josiah Cole (Warren Clarke), a small dockside trader, is prepared to gamble everything to join the big players of the city. Bristol in 1787 is booming, from its stinking docks to its elegant new houses. The devastating consequences of the slave trade in 18th century Bristol are explored through the powerful but impossible attraction of well-born Frances and her Yoruban slave, Mehuru. The Twins have traded right-hander Trevor Megill to Milwaukee, according to a team announcement by the Brewers, who will be sending a player to be.
