'A collection of army officers unable to find a future in England, sons of the gentry sent out to the Colony to be got rid of, peasants driven off the land in Ireland and Scotland, paupers from the slums of England, small farmers, merchants, sly-grog sellers, hunted Aborigines and oppressed convicts - these are the characters of "House of Bondage".  The location is Australia, then a far-flung colony of England, a dusty, almost forgotten colony, where the unwanted , the hope-less and the useless were sent to work out their destiny.'
