John Thomas, a poor Welsh lad of seventeen, has a dream to become a landed gentleman with status when he learns of an opportunity across the ocean in a new world. With only his dream, faith, and courage, he indentures himself to a sponsor, leaves family and sweetheart behind, and sails in 1609 to Jamestown, the colonial outpost of a stock venture company in London. During his journey, John's faith and resilience are stretched in ways he could never have imagined. Through a shipwreck at sea and Indian conflicts onshore, John must learn to lean on grace. While paying his debt to his sponsor in Jamestown, John struggles with his blossoming love for a colonial lass and the love for his sweetheart back home. Meanwhile, the threat of Indian conflict and the toil of building his own plantation consumes him body and soul. Will John lose his heart even as he builds his dream? And will his torn love between two women ever be resolved? Will the "Virginia Gold" that John finds lead him to an even greater wealth beyond his original dream? Ultimately he must face the realization that attaining his dream may not bring true happiness after all and that treasure, like love, comes in many forms.
