The Quaker, Mary Dyer has survived several episodes of imprisonment, torture and threats to hanging by Boston authorities for challenging their ruthless oppression of those who have differing religious opinions. Finally, she makes her way back to Boston one last time and on June 1, 1660, she is hung on Boston Commons.
Weeks later a group of 20 dissenters gather at the home of Dr. John Alcock in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The Pioneers accelerate their plans to escape to Block Island while a mysterious benefactor, a leading Puritan provides cover for their plans. Meanwhile the Scottish Highlanders are freed from the term of indenture and join the venture. Preparations are completed for the first landing of men to begin settling Block Island in the Spring of 1661. Governor Endicott becomes aware of their plans and intends to intercede but the Island proprietors make a clever change to their plans to avoid capture.
25 years earlier the Manissean Natives had fought to repel the Puritan attack as retribution for the death of John Oldham. Now, they can only watch as the new owners land on the Island for the first time at Cow Cove.
With the survey work complete and the work to settle the Island well underway, the proprietors move their families to the Island with the second landing in the Spring of 1662.
Days later James Sands, brings a Prize to the Island. The new Islanders are taken to their knees when they realize the surprise is something that none of them could have ever imagined.
At the conclusion, the leading pioneers James Sand, Thomas Terry, and Simon Ray commit to one another that this Block Island will never know of stocks or whips or severed ears or punctured tongues or gallows. They agree to form a democracy, that will strive to see all on this Island live together in Unity, in Spirit, and in Truth.
