Plot
The series is set during the 18th century, sometime between the period known as the "Golden Age of Piracy" and the Napoleonic Wars, and follows the adventures of a misfit band of pirates led by Captain Butler (Craig Charles). The setting intentionally introduces historical anachronisms however, as both Blackbeard and Admiral Horatio Nelson are portrayed in the series, and it is difficult to determine the specific time period.
