Travis is a freed slave whose wife was kidnapped by pirates. Rescued in the wilderness by a Native American, he now has a choice. He can leave for freedom, or stay and fight for his wife. Daniel is a twenty-year old farmer working on rented land with a new wife. Knowing he must do more to take care of his Laura, he joins a North Carolina militia whose mission is to rid the coast of pirates. What happens next is a series of adventures that will transform the family for generations.
