Silas informs her that Henry is his older brother and welcomes her to Jamestown. On their way to the town, Silas explains that his family is indebted to Edgar Massinger because they borrowed money to buy her. Once at home, Silas eats with Alice and Pepper. Meanwhile, Henry arrives and Silas introduces him to his bride. He doesn’t seem to pay her any mind. At night fall, Silas runs into Verity Rutter. He tells her it’s too late for her to be out on her own and offers himself to escort her back to the tavern, where she can spend the night.

She claims she will kill him if necessary. Silas promises it won’t come to that. Henry and Silas go up river. Once they sail down the river, Henry tells Silas the true nature of their enterprise into Indian territory. He informs his brother about Yeardley's expedition nine years ago. In spite of the Indians claiming there is no gold, Henry still believes there is gold in Virginia and that he will find it. Henry says he’ll be his own master once he has the gold in his hands but Silas urges they won’t find it. Meanwhile, Silas tells Henry he wants his own 100 acres to farm but the man replies they will work the land together. Silas demands that Henry can’t treat Alice in such a way and he’ll hurt her no more. Henry says Alice is his to do with her what he pleases. Silas urges himself to beat his older brother but is bested by Henry. He mocks that Silas is not man enough to take Alice. Henry says he’ll sleep in the boat with the provisions for they might be Indians around. That night, Henry catches on fire and the gunpowder in the boat causes it to explode. Silas watches and does nothing to help him. He believes his brother to be dead. Meanwhile, he returns to Jamestown and informs the townsfolk about what happened. That night, at the Sharrow’s farm, Silas tells Alice that few people saw Henry’s kindness but he saw it all of his life. Alice tells him that why she loves him and asks him to pray with her. Silas kisses her.

Silas recalls that Reverend Whitaker would never defy Redwick but promises he will talk to Read. Later, Silas speaks with James Read and asks him to ship himself a wife and to quit his claim on Alice. James says he wants Alice and that he sees clearly that Silas is in love with her as well, then proceeds to imply he murdered his own brother just to have her.

Silas declines his proposal. Pepper Sharrow interrupts and informs that the Governor is requesting for Silas because they captured a Pamunkey warrior. At the garrison, Silas translates Chacrow for the governor. Marshal Redwick  makes it clear that thieves lose their hands and is determined to carry on the sentence after being mocked by the Pamunkey warrior. Chacrow is taken into town to have his hands cut off. Silas is not pleased with the decision. Yeardley, eventually, agrees to spare the warrior and asks him who sold him the musket. Master Massinger interrupts and explains that only Silas could be the culprit, since he recently travelled up river and knows the Powhatan language well.

Due to lack of evidence, Marshal Redwick dismisses the charges. Meanwhile, Silas and Alice sit by the river and discuss their future children and grandchildren. James Read passes by in a boat and reveals he’s to search for Henry Sharrow since no one else will.

He explains that Henry is alive and was healed by the Appamattuck. Silas states that his brother is dead because he witnessed him burn and no one could survive that. Farlow and Redwick, however, urge him to search for Henry. Alice forbids it and ask them to leave them alone. Alice follows Silas outside and states he has to stay with her because he has a wife and a farm now. Silas tells her he needs to think and walks away.

    The next morning, Silas is sailing away when Alice tries to stop him. Silas promises that he loves her and will return but he has to go and find his eldest brother. After rowing for a very long time beneath the sun, Silas falls off from his boat.

Silas and Pepper try to talk to Henry but he doesn’t reply. Later, Silas tries to explain to Alice why he has to take care of Henry. Alice claims she does understand but doesn’t feel safe with him so close and confesses the memory of the rape still haunts her. Edgar Massinger arrives and informs Silas he’s to ruin his business by selling his own tobacco at a price so low no dealer would accept to pay any higher or lower. The next day, Alice tells Silas they should impose a law to set fixed prices for the tobacco for this would stop Massinger from ruining their business. Silas agrees to try. The following day, Massinger goes to the Sharrow plantation and threatens Silas with a dagger for he discovered that he has been talking with other farmers. Henry heads outside and threatens to kill Massinger if he ever sets foot on Sharrow land ever again. Before the assembly, Henry gathers the other plantation owners and asks them to stand with the Sharrows. Silas proposes to fix the price of tobacco so that no plantation owner gets more or less profit than his neighbor: 3 shillings a pound for the best leaf tobacco and 18 pennies for the lesser crops.  Massinger opposites stating that no man alive can tell him how much his tobacco is worth. Silas replies it’s not any man it’s the collective of the assembly. Henry proposes a vote and the majority supports the Sharrow’s proposal and the tobacco price is fixed. Back at home, Henry and his family harvest the tobacco. Silas shows Henry his land and insists his debt has been repaid. At the harvest celebrations, Alice tells Silas that she’s pregnant.

Henry states that the man drowned. Farlow agrees with the Marshal and remarks that the Indians pretend to be at peace with the settlement. Silas disagrees for they knew Castell to be a friend. Afterwards, Verity Rutter tells Silas about his newborn son and urges him to run home. That night, Silas takes his son for a walk. During the meeting of the burgesses, Sir George Yeardley informs they have a traitor amongst them. The governor reveals he received news from England that a secret message from Spain was intercepted.

Henry witnesses men loading stolen cargo and fires at them. They chase after them and a man named Morrow takes Verity Rutter hostage. Silas sneaks up from behind and slice his arm with an axe, then punches the man several times in the face. The Sharrow brothers bring Verity and Morrow back to Jamestown. Secretary Farlow executes the man by pouring molten lead down his throat. Silas seems troubled for using his axe on the man, but Verity says she’s nothing but grateful. Henry says the difference between them is that he knows he’s a beast. That night, Alice comforts Silas, stating that he only acted in such a brutal way to save Verity.

    Silas and Henry learn about the new tax: from now on they will need a license to trade with the Pamunkey. They are not happy and Henry remarks it’s to rob them of their profits. Sir George Yeardley reveals his intentions to expand. Silas recalls they made a promise to the Pamunkey to honor the boundaries they agreed upon. Redwick states they lie every day. Silas recalled that, when they starved, it was the Pamunkey who fed them. The governor says their loyalty is to Englishmen and urges them to take an oath not to reveal their discussions to anyone outside that room.  Meanwhile, Alice Sharrow’s babe is gone and she blames Chacrow. Henry says Silas they have to go to the Pamunkey camp. Silas tells Henry that Chacrow helped search for him on the mountains and therefore Opechancanough believes he owes a debt to the Pamunkey. He informs Henry that they wanted him to serve as a spy in Jamestown but he refused. Pepper Sharrow also wants to go but Silas throws him off board and Henry says he isn’t ready and Silas asks him to look after Alice. While they spy the Pamunkey camp, Silas asks Henry if he believes the child to be his. Henry asks if he believes that and Silas remarks that question will always remain between them. Henry says they are there to bring Alice’s boy back home. They both search the camp but are unable to find the baby. Later on, Henry and Silas find Yeardley’s party. Henry thanks them but recalls it’s a Sharrow business. Redwick states that relations with the Pamunkey are Jamestown businesses. Silas says he won’t allow them to use his child as a reason to go to war with the Pamunkey. The marshal claims he only wishes for the babe to be found. Henry informs they have been watching the village and don’t know if the child is there. Meanwhile, they are ambush by Pamunkey warriors and take before the king. Opechancanough says he doesn’t know where the child is and asks what the English will give in return if he does find him. The king makes clear he doesn’t trust English promises anymore for his people go among them never to return. Yeardley threatens the king and says that if the Sharrow child is not returned, they will declare war. Later, the child is returned by Chacrow to the Sharrows.

The Sharrows are welcome into Chacrow’s family and feast with the Pamunkey. Silas and James Read to go the wharf to fetch Read’s betrothal, Corinna. However, she died one day from shore and Silas helps him carrying her body on a stretcher and take it to church. While they walk in the woods, Chacrow asks Henry how likes being married to his sister. Chacrow mocks him as “Leaping Henry” and the other Pamunkey warriors laugh. Henry is not so pleased and promises Silas that no man laughs at him and triumphs. Later on, Silas observes Henry talking to Marshal Redwick and becomes suspicious. Redwick travels to the Pamunkey village with a enormous amount of items for Opechancanough. He explains he can pay for them later for it’s what the English call a “temporary kindness”. Henry points out they have Chacrow to thank for such trade. When they are leaving to Jamestown, Silas talks to Chacrow and warns him about the trap. The following day, Cracrow arrives to Jamestown with several Pamunkey young men as a “temporary kindness” from his king. He also points out they have to thank Henry for the bond of honor between the two people. Yeardley is not happy and complains to Silas and Henry that there were betrayed. The following day, Silas confesses to Henry that he told Chacrow the truth. They start to fight and Silas manages to overpower his eldest brother. Silas reminds Henry that the Pamunkey saved his life. Secretary Farlow visits the Sharrow farm alongside his new companion, Simeon Peck, and ask for several items for Simeon’s experiment. Alice Sharrow states what Farlow really wishes for is the cinnabar. Henry says that if they believe in fool’s wonders, they might as well pay well. Silas tells Henry that their fight was necessary but he still respects him as the older brother. Henry replies it’s not how it is for Silas bested him and therefore he will serve him. Meanwhile, Henry and Silas go to trade with Chacrow. The Pamunkey warrior makes it clear that he doesn’t trust in Henry anymore. After Chacrow leaving, Henry recalls Silas the Pamunkey will come after him. Later, they trade the cinnabar for Farlow's horse. At the woods, Silas and Alice make love.

The Sharrows receive a letter informing that their tobacco was seized by Dutch privateers. Since Governor Yeardley’s cargo was not lost, they decide to rebel against the governor. They storm the town and ask for the aid of other farmers. Silas Sharrow informs the townsfolk that their cargo was lost at sea and accuses the governor of being the responsible. Henry Sharrow states it can happen with other men if they don’t take action. Marshal Redwick and Secretary Farlow arrive. Meanwhile, the bells ring to call the townsfolk for an emergency gathering. Sir George Yeardley tells them that he received a letter that informs that a Spanish armada is headed for Jamestown and can invade any day now. Therefore, they must prepare for an attack. An eclipse occurs and Alice tells Silas she has seen it before in her hometown and says some evil spirit is about to come. Henry remarks it’s odd that the Spanish are to invade at the precise moment the governor has an uprising at his doorstep. In the middle of the night, Alice wakes Silas because she spotted maggots on the floor and tells him they are a sign of the walking dead. Henry and Silas confront Yeardley about their lost cargo and make it clear that once the Spanish are dealt with they will resolve the tobacco issue. Henry and Silas are at James Read’s shop when Edgar Massinger passes by with Mercy. Silas says he wouldn’t wish blindness on any man, not even Massinger. Verity Rutter states he would for Massinger said to her he would anything in his power to prevent the Sharrow from prospering. Silas proposes that Massinger arranged with the captain of the Royal Moon for their tobacco to be lost. Henry decides they need to confront him. While Mercy is feeding Massinger, Silas and Henry came from behind her and force her to move. They confront the man with violence until Sir George Yeardley interrupts them. Yeardley asks Redwick to take Massinger to the garrison and threatens the Sharrow brothers with his sword. Chacrow arrives and asks Silas what’s happening. Silas explains they are expecting a Spanish attack and they have a walking dead man. Chacrow explains to Farlow and Redwick that, when a man rises from the grave, it’s because he has unfinished businesses. Redwick calls superstition pagan blasphemy. Once they are alone, Chacrow tells Silas that Opechancanough is not over with him. Then, Henry warns Silas about the dangers of speaking Powhatan in Jamestown.

Silas and Henry Sharrow decide to take Massinger’s slaves as repayments for their stolen tobacco. Marshal Redwick and Nicholas Farlow warn them against it but the Sharrow brothers refuse to listen. Silas and Henry arrive at their plantation with the African slaves and Alice is displeased. Meanwhile, Maria escapes and Yeardley quickly sets a searching party and tells to the Sharrows if they find her he will favor their claim on Massinger’s slaves. Silas and Henry search the woods for Maria. When he returns home at night, Alice informs him that Maria is hidden there and pleas with him that they have to protect her. He agrees.

Alice tells Silas that the governor wants to take more land from the Pamunkey. Silas tells her that he will not talk to Chacrow about it. Henry Sharrow recalls the land they own now was once Pamunkey. Alice tells Henry she doesn’t want him on her and Silas’ farm. Later, Silas promises Alice that Henry will leave them alone and won’t come back to their farm. Silas tells Alice that he does not trust the governor but James Read warned him that Christopher Priestley has heard rumors about his dealings with the Pamunkey so they have to be careful. Alice informs him that she spoke with Chacrow and told him about Yeardley’s plan. They are both worried about the consequences. After Jocelyn’s farm is burned down at Yeardley’s orders to blame the Pamunkey, Christopher informs the governor, Marshal Redwick and Secretary Farlow that Silas Sharrow has been giving secret information about Jamestown to the Pamunkey. James Read overhears and urges the Sharrows to run. They barricade in the Sharrow’s farm and fire at the marshal. Alice helps Silas escape and tells him to ask for help within the Pamunkey. Silas recalls that if he goes he can’t come back but Alice urges him to go otherwise he’ll hang as a traitor.

A storm is coming and starts to rain as Silas visits Jamestown at night and sees Sir George Yeardley. At the woods, Chacrow explains to Silas the Pamunkey boys live by themselves in the woods and only return to the village when they learn what it is to be a man. Silas says his son is lost to him because of Yeardley and asks why Opechancanough doesn’t allow him to live in the faraway mountains. Chacrow recalls he’s Pamunkey now and therefore the chief must be able to reach and control him. Silas says he will only know peace after he kills Yeardley. At the Pamunkey village, Tonanaquato enters Silas Sharrow’s tent and lies beside him, kissing him. Silas, however, refuses to take it any further because he has a wife. The next morning, Silas and Chacrow are hunting. Chacrow asks him why he didn’t bed her. Silas says he can’t have another woman in his arms because he’s heart is still broken.

Meanwhile, Silas spies on Yeardley as he hunts deer for the festivities. Meanwhile, Silas prepares a bear trap for Yeardley. Pedro and the governor go to Yeardley’s favorite hunting place where Silas is waiting. Silas imitates a bear. Yeardley falls into the bear trap but is saved by Pedro.

Opechancanough says he’ll decide what to do with Silas when he learns if Yeardley lived or died but he will be punished for dishonoring his king nonetheless.

At the Pamunkey village, Silas is being banished. Chacrow says he dishonored Opechancanough when he tried to kill Yeardley without his permission.

Later, Henry and Pepper Sharrow go to strike a bargain with Redwick for the governor to pardon Silas in exchange for the golden horse. Yeardley arrives at Jamestown riding the golden horse. He says Silas Sharrow must renounce his pagan beliefs. Silas says he’s ready to be baptized again.

Yeardley shows Chacrow’s gift to Silas: a red wolf head. The governor reveals he doesn’t believe that Chacrow is in Jamestown to serve him. Thomas Redwick is certain that Chacrow is in the settlement to be Opechancanough’s eyes and ears. The governor says Chacrow wants to learn the secret of gunpowder. Redwick laughs because the Pamunkey plant the gunpowder on the ground, believing they can grow it. Yeardley orders Silas to feed Chacrow’s love of gunpowder by showing him how the English make it and promising learning. The governor wants Silas to be the one who takes Chacrow away from Opechancanough or they’ll take away the Sharrow lands. Later, Silas informs Chacrow that the governor has given him instructions. Chacrow learns that Yeardley allowed for him to see how gunpowder is made. Silas asks how Chacrow was capable of bringing a red wolf’s head to Yeardley. Chacrow says Silas is not Pamunkey and therefore they’ll speak English. He asks how is it possible that Silas has return to Jamestown when the Pamunkey accepted him as one of their own because Yeardley wanted him dead. Silas tells him about the golden horse. Chacrow reveals Opechancanough believes he was always a spy for Yeardley. Silas swears he could never betray him. Chacrow tells Silas about Opechancanough’s orders to kill him. Silas asks when and Chacrow promises “soon”.

Silas keeps showing to Chacrow how gunpowder is made. He says he’ll not ask him to deny Opechancanough but warns that if he kills an Englishman he will be hanged and the Sharrows won’t rest until he’s avenged. Chacrow recalls Silas might be the one who kills him if he fails. Silas promises Chacrow will always be his brother. They spar around but Chacrow get the better of Silas. He tells him that he brought his death upon himself. Chacrow eventually realizes it was not gunpowder Silas shown to him. Silas asks Chacrow how he’ll die. The Pamunkey warrior promises it will happen after he shows him the last of gunpowder and he’ll face him as a friend and done with respect. Silas tells Pedro he can trust Chacrow because he knows honor. Chacrow tells Silas to escape to the far away mountains. His people will mock him and Opechancanough will punish him but will not kill him. Silas refuses to run away and tells him the last ingredient of gunpowder. At Sharrow Hundred, Henry asks Silas what if before he left the Pamunkey he heard any talking about Opechancanough changing his name. Silas recalls Henry that he has a Pamunkey wife and will have Pamunkey children so he better keep peace with them. Henry asks Silas where he is going. Silas says that he’ll choose his future.

Silas asks why a trader was killed when there’s suppose to be love between the two peoples. The king blames the Chickahominy. Yeardley says that if an Englishman is killed it’s an act of war. Yeardley uses the knowledge of the prophecy against Opechancanough. The king asks about Chacrow. Yeardley lies that Chacrow serves him well and didn’t wish to be there today.

At the woods, Nematanu chases after Mercy but is stopped and killed by Pepper. Silas Sharrow scolds Pepper for killing the Pamunkey warrior because he’ll bring war upon Jamestown. Pepper says the man would not leave Mercy alone. Silas goes to Nematanu and hears his last words. Nematanu lies dead on the ground and Chacrow arrives with Henry Sharrow. Henry asks why he would try to steal an English maid. Chacrow says that if the Pamunkey wanted a war they would not send a man alone. Silas tells him about Nematanu’s last words: he wishes the Pamunkey never to know how he died because he told them the feathers would protect him from muskets. Later, a mariner chases after Maria in order to murder her. She’s saved by the Sharrows when Henry shots the man. The Sharrows arrive to Jamestown with the mariner’s corpse. Redwick doesn’t recognize the dead man. Silas implies Yeardley does but the governor denies. Henry informs the man was pursuing Maria and wanted to kill her. The governor asks Maria why the man was chasing her and she fakes ignorance.

Silas asks Chacrow what he will do. Chacrow will remain with his people. They both hug in goodbye. Silas survives the Pamunkey attack.
