Darwin embarks on his famous five-year voyage around the world aboard the Beagle. Decades later, his daughter Lizzie struggles to understand why her father was haunted with guilt and fear during the last years of his life. In the present day, an anthropologist and a Darwin scholar find Lizzie's journals while exploring the same questions and are lead to a hidden chapter of Darwin's biography and the birth of the theory of evolution.
