Kidnapped is set in 1751, during the time of the Jacobite rebellion ? a tumultuous and tragic period in Scottish history. When David Balfour sets out to find his uncle, he never dreamed that he would be kidnapped ? but saved from a life of slavery ? and thrown from one escapade to another in the company of the fugitive, masterful swordsman Alan Breck Stewart. They meet on the brig Covenant just before they are shipwrecked off the coast of Scotland. After witnessing the murder of Colin Campbell (the notorious ?Red Fox?) David makes a dramatic and extraordinary flight for his life across Scotland before he can claim his rightful inheritance.

This new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson?s Kidnapped, the dramatic and epic adventure story about a seventeen-year-old desperate to secure his inheritance, brings together two creative giants from the world of graphic novels ? the absolute ?dream team? of artist Cam Kennedy and scriptwriter Alan Grant.
