   Cornovaglia, 1783. Ross Poldark, tornato esausto dalla guerra per l'esercito inglese, scopre che la sua promessa sposa, Elizabeth, sta per sposare un altro uomo, a causa delle voci sulla sua presunta morte. La sua casa, Nampara, è in rovina, trascurata da vecchi servi fedeli ma alcolisti. Devastato dalla perdita, Ross decide di rimettere in sesto Nampara e di risollevare gli affari di famiglia, dedicandosi alla coltivazione delle terre e all'apertura di una nuova miniera. Riceve aiuto dalla cugina Verity, dai due servi e da Demelza, una giovane ragazza che ha salvato da un pestaggio e che inizia a lavorare con lui come sguattera. Nella ventosa Cornovaglia, aspra come la vita dei minatori, si intrecciano i destini della famiglia Poldark: Ross, il forte e affascinante protagonista; Verity, gentile e solidale; Elizabeth, tormentata da preoccupazioni; e Demelza, che, trasformata in una bellissima donna, è determinata a conquistare il cuore dell'uomo che le ha cambiato la vita.
