Abandoned as a child and unaware of her true identity, Victoria is a swashbuckling, fearless and bold pirate, a master of disguise, in the fervor of the 18th century. She wants more, to fulfill a prophecy of a sorceress to find and harness the powers of an ancient artifact which will solidify her leadership among the Caribbean pirates. Hot on her trail is an evil Voodoo sorcerer an English lord who plans to take the English crown.
As their paths cross, Victoria realizes she must travel to England to learn the whereabouts of the artifact. Masquerading as a noble French lady, she attracts the romantic interest of a playboy prince and witnesses the plots and intrigues of the royal court. She returns to the Caribbean and captures the artifact, harnessing its incredible powers.
Victoria's victory is short-lived as the evil English lord and the English king's navy begin a ruthless pursuit, which results not only in Victoria’s loss of the artifact, but a devastating revelation about her past that now turns her closest allies against her and forces her to re-evaluate herself entirely.
