After his ship is burned and his shipmates killed, John Jewitt lived for nearly three years as a captive of the Mowachaht people on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

Drawn from Jewitt’s journals, this graphic novel is an adventurous retelling of history by the same contributors who created the award-winning Trickster and District Comics.
