Synopsis:    The Highwayman is the story of Will Stiles, the son of a farmer in 18th century England. Will is a dreamer. He spends long days working on the farm with his father but in his little free time he reads his father's old books, books of poetry and adventure. He dreams of knights, pirates and damsels in distress.... He tries his hand at poetry and performs his poems at the local inn to entertain his neighbors and the love of his life, Bess, the landlord's daughter. Bess' father also has dreams, dreams of marrying his daughter to someone rich and powerful, and doubts about Will's character and family. For there are many things about Will's family that Will himself doesn't know. The night before Will's father, Henry Stiles, dies he tells Will about Will's grandfather Sir Malcolm Stiles, a baronet who was falsely convicted of murder and hanged. Will learns that he comes from a family of tainted nobility, and even the farm they live on does not belong to them but reverts to Lord Shafton on Henry's death. Evicted from the farm, kept away from Bess by her father, Will begins to live a double life, working at a neighbor's farm during the day and robbing those who conspired against his father by night. But the forces that sent his grandfather to the gallows gather once again to hunt down this highwayman in a battle that threatens both Will and Bess.
