Written in honor of the 150th anniversary of Canada's independence.
In the 19th century many a younger son left Scotland in search of the wealth and advancement offered by the fur trade in the untamed wilds of Western North America. Inspired by the intrepid adventures of Simon Fraser and Alexander Mckenzie, they endured harsh winters and primitive conditions.
Rendezvous is the story of one such adventurer, Ian Donaldson, a Highlander fortunate enough to secure a position with the North West Company. Adapting to his new life in the Company' s trading post at Fort William on Lake Superior, he meets and falls in love with Nindaanis, a Métis woman with an illegitimate child. When the baby's voyageur father returns for the annual Great Rendezvous, and clearly wants to continue his abuse of Nindaanis, Ian defies convention and fights for the woman he loves.
