The Odyssey meets Forrest Gump. Israel Potter is a simple farmer from the Berkshires, but when the American Revolution breaks out, he bravely volunteers to fight for country and freedom. After a disastrous first battle on land, he tries his hand at seafaring, only to be captured by the British. Thus begins a whirlwind string of adventures that put him in the path of some of history’s greatest figures – but no closer to returning to the home that he misses so dearly.
