这部已经拖了四年时间的「美国起源」题材迷你剧根据2007年出版的写实小说《SavageKingdom:TheTrueStoryofJamestown,1607,andtheSettlementofAmerica》改编。1607年，从英国来到美洲大陆寻梦的探险者在弗吉尼亚的詹姆斯敦（Jamestown）建立了新殖民地，这是北美地区第一个英国定居点，美国的历史从此开始。到了1619年，原本荒凉的殖民地逐渐转变成一座新兴城镇，詹姆斯敦社区已经有模有样。但是在这12年间，这里只有男人。又有一批人从英国本土乘船来到美洲大陆。刚刚抵达詹姆斯敦的人群当中有几名年轻漂亮的女性显得格外突出，她们是詹姆斯敦早期定居者的「婚配对象」。不知名的丈夫们为她们支付了跨越大西洋的一切费用，她们带着憧憬、兴奋与恐惧交织的复杂心情来到北美殖民地。Jocelyn（NaomiBattrick）、Alice（SophieRundle）和Verity（NiamhWalsh）在这些女性当中尤为活跃，她们离开了熟悉的生活，来到新世界寻求新的开始，梦想成为詹姆斯敦首批女性先驱者。但是她们很快意识到新世界不是天堂，这里穷乡僻壤，城镇完全被男人统治，到处是可疑的土著居民，还有许许多多残酷的挑战。野心、权力、商业头脑、爱情、婚姻、私情与死亡混在一起，这些先驱者将定义一种新的生活方式——一种战胜现实，忘记过去的秘密，拥抱新生的超前理念。Alice是个农场女孩，她在码头上见到了来接自己的Silas。这个长相英俊、身材魁梧的男人看起来还不错，遗憾的是……她要嫁的并不是他，而是他的兄弟Henry。用不了多长时间，Alice就会知道Henry是个真正的粗人。与此同时，Alice的好友Verity总觉得自己来错了地方，她的新丈夫Meredith是个酒鬼，她时常称呼他「癞蛤蟆」。Jocelyn在这些新娘当中性格最泼辣、最叛逆，她敢于对无趣的丈夫Samuel颐指气使，令詹姆斯敦的长者非常不快。但她自视为其他年轻女性的模范——如果给她足够的权力，她甚至能成为总督。DeanLennox-Kelly扮演詹姆斯敦的酒保MeredithRutter，整天醉醺醺的。JasonFlemyng扮演詹姆斯敦总督GeorgeYeardley。MaxBeesley扮演詹姆斯敦居民HenrySharrow，他付钱让Alice成为自己的妻子。RaoulTrujillo、ShaunDooley、StuartMartin、StevenWaddington、MattStokoe和BurnGorman参与演出。该剧根据真实历史事件改编，1619年抵达美洲大陆的航船一共为詹姆斯敦殖民地送去100名女性，她们被历史学家称作「即将成为新娘的女佣」。这些女性成为殖民地男性的财产和附庸，因为殖民地男性为每位「邮寄新娘」支付了50磅重的烟草。该剧大部分场景在匈牙利取景拍摄。----天涯小筑
