It is the late 18th century. Piracy is rife amongst the seas and many coastal towns live in fear. Young Jim Hawkins lives with his Mother in their rundown inn along the Bristol Coast. They’ve seen better days, and just as things are looking desperate for the Admiral Benbow, a stranger appears seeking shelter. He is brash, tattooed, scarred and permanently drunk. His appearance in the inn quickly brings down bad fortune upon the Hawkins family.Their quiet inn is soon host to many bloodthirsty and brutal pirates who are in search of just one thing – a map to the treasure of the long dead notorious Captain Flint. Little do they know Jim has already found the map and fled the inn, a warning ringing in his ears… “Beware the one legged man.”
