About This Season
Benedict Arnold's aggressive leadership at Saratoga nearly earns him a hero's death, but instead, it leads him to a path of pain and betrayal. As a once revered Continental Army leader, his appointment as Philadelphia's military governor exposes him to corruption, extravagant living, and the allure of Peggy Shippen, a Loyalist's daughter. Now he's accused of corruption and Arnold's dreams begin to unravel and he betrays the country he fought for by contacting British spy Major John André through his wife, Peggy.
