Young John Newton, the dissolute son of an English sea captain, is drawn into the brutal world of the slave trade. After a transformative near-death experience during a violent storm at sea, Newton undergoes a profound spiritual awakening that leads him to renounce slavery and write the immortal hymn 'Amazing Grace,' becoming a key figure in the British abolitionist movement.
