The second series shifts to post-war mainland South Africa, where the Boers, though returned, still struggle for freedom. New characters are introduced, including Meisie, who is mute due to trauma, and her mother Cornelia, who seeks revenge.
The war is over and the prisoners are allowed to go home - if they swear an oath of loyalty to the British crown. Sloet refuses, but is nevertheless determined to leave the island. P.J. and Sloet are not satisfied with the punishment Kitchener got after Paul's death. Buys realises that Sloet is up to something. As the last ship departs for the Cape, he disappears and climbs down a rope leader, guarded by Princess, and swims towards Sam's boat.
Kitchener is questioned about the death of Princess. Stewart sees Sam's boat and how P.J. and Benny help Sloet aboard the ship.
P.J. and Benny admit that Sloet was on board the ship, but reckon that he must have jumped overboard again.
Kerwin says that Sloet should be sent back to St. Helena. Jacobus plans to catch Kitchener.
Benny takes P.J. to his house, and they learn that his wife is gone.
A sad Jacobus tells Sam about his banjo, and they immediately suspect Kitchener.
Annette tries to escape from the farm to join Sloet.
Liefie gossips to Izak about Cornelia.
Finale. Granger doesn't follow Sloet's plan, but can't find him. Kerwin is shot, and Meisie finds her voice again.
