Jamie Fraser, a Scottish Highlander, and his time-traveling surgeon wife, Claire Fraser, strive to build a life in colonial America amidst the burgeoning American Revolutionary War. They long for peace and to protect their family, including their daughter Brianna and her husband Roger, who reside in the future.

However, the true killer, Allan Christie, is soon revealed, and Young Ian (Jamie's nephew) kills Allan in retribution.

The Frasers' home on Fraser's Ridge is tragically destroyed by fire, prompting Jamie and Claire to decide to return to Scotland. Before they can depart, Jamie is conscripted into the Continental Army, forcing him into the heart of the American Revolution. He endures brutal battles, while Claire tends to the wounded.

Jamie faces a devastating personal loss when his ship is lost at sea with no survivors, leading Claire to believe he is dead and marry Lord John Grey to protect herself. However, Jamie miraculously returns, and William (Jamie's illegitimate son) overhears Jamie confirm he is his father, leading to a tense confrontation.

As the war rages, Jamie and Claire find themselves on the battlefield, where Claire is caught in the crossfire and shot. She survives, but the season concludes with a new mystery surrounding Frances, a young woman whose song reminds Claire of her deceased daughter, Faith, leaving Claire stunned.
