In France 1831, a young aristocrat Alexis de Tocqueville, flees his country in the wake of political turmoil, which has seen most members of his family beheaded. A handsome young man, Alexis is in love with a poor yet formidable British woman, whom he is not allowed to marry. With his friend Gustave de Beaumont, he sets out for the New World. Raised in the hatred of Republican ideals, he plans to set sail for America, the country of liberty, to study their system of democracy. Under the pretext of studying American prisons, he will crisscross the country through primeval landscapes and meet presidents, slaves, billionaires and Native Americans threatened with extinction.
