Two families-bound by history, stitched together by hope. Embark on transformative journeys across the Caribbean and beyond.
The Philogene family, descended from 18th-century French colonists, once owned a modest sugarcane and cotton plantation on St. Barthélemy, built on the labor of enslaved ancestors. Driven by the winds of change and the search for a better future, Elijah, Clarissa, and their children leave the remnants of their ancestral estate behind, migrating first to St. Thomas and then to Dominica. Amid crop failures, storms, and the weight of history, they carve a new life from the land, confronting moral conflicts and forging new paths for themselves and their descendants.
Meanwhile, Henri Sebastien, born into Venezuela's upper class during its turbulent fight for independence, escapes upheaval and war to begin anew in Dominica. As a teacher and artist, Henri's journey is one of hope and resilience, connecting with Ledger through shared dreams of empowerment.
Together, they ignite a movement in the small village of Colihaut striving to forge communities rooted in strength, education, and bravery.
In this story of legacy and change, two families discover that the bravest seeds grow from courage, resilience, and the unbreakable belief in a brighter tomorrow.
