In this maritime tale of high adventure, courage and love, we follow Aaron and his friend Rigo as they join Captain Morgan's pirate ship after fleeing the authorities in England, having been caught smuggling.

On a following ship are two stowaways, Miles and Fanny Speybury, who are children of the local squire. None of these people know what awaits them as they find love and lose it, make firm friendships, and face danger and adventure they never could have foreseen.
