Gilbert Winslow is pushed by his family into the Church of England even though he lacks a secure sense of vocation. His position makes him useful to authorities who want information about religious separatists, and he enters their community as an informer expected to observe men and women whose beliefs the established church regards as dangerous.

Living among the separatists makes the assignment morally uncertain. Gilbert begins to see individuals rather than a political problem, while his own faith and loyalties become harder to define. The novel places his divided conscience within the persecution and migration that will lead English dissenters toward the Mayflower and the founding of Plymouth Colony.
