OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS
The golden age of piracy collides with encroaching civilization in four action-packed seasons of “Black Sails,” from Executive Producer Michael Bay. The action begins in 1715 on New Providence Island, lawless and overrun with history’s most notorious pirate captains. The most feared among them? The complicated, driven Captain Flint. Joined by Eleanor Guthrie, a smuggler’s beautiful daughter, Flint schemes to win the ultimate prize and keep his adversaries at bay. But enemies abound, in the form of the infamous Captain Charles Vane, the Royal Navy, Flint’s fellow cutthroats, his own inner demons, and an exiled legend whose name brings on the shivers – a man called Long John Silver.
