Em 1755, o empobrecido Capitão Ludvig Kahlen parte à conquista da dura e inabitável charneca dinamarquesa com um objectivo aparentemente impossível: fundar uma colónia em nome do Rei. Em troca, receberá o título real que ambiciona desesperadamente. Mas o único regente da área, o cruel Frederik de Schinkel, acredita arrogantemente que aquela terra lhe pertence. Quando de Schinkel descobre que a sua criada Ann Barbara e o marido fugiram e se refugiaram junto de Kahlen, o privilegiado e rancoroso regente jura vingança, fazendo tudo ao seu alcance para obrigar o Capitão a partir. Kahlen não se deixa intimidar e aceita a batalha desigual – arriscando não apenas a sua vida, mas também a da família de forasteiros que se formara em seu redor.
