The Hazard family are made up of matriarch Maude Hazard (Inga Swenson), brothers Stanley (Jonathan Frakes) and Billy (John Stockwell) and sister Virgilia (Kirstie Alley). George also falls in love with Constance Flynn (Wendy Kilbourne) who eventually becomes his wife.
The two families continue along their separate and joined paths and while there is a focus on their personal lives, there is also a strand of actual events woven through the drama and certain fictional characters are written into the factual events. The main theme, as this is about the build up to the AmericanCivilWar, is slavery, the anti-slavery movement and the attempted secession of the southern states from the Union and as such several of the characters are involved in the anti-slavery movement, while the Main family are slave owners.

I was however completely wrong and it turned ...

Daniel Craig takes the lead role of Guy, and we follow his charming style throughout as the officer who is determined to fight for the cause, his country and his beliefs, and in a way, the plot itself doesn't have particularly important lines to follow.
