In 1757, when this story begins it has fallen on hard times and most of its 200 inhabitants are fishermen, or smugglers! The hero of the story is 15 year old John Trenchard, who's inquisitive nature leads him first into smuggling, then a flight to Holland, with a price on his head and a long lost treasure in his possession. That at last, after ten years of slave labor, the miraculous twist of fate brings him home, but even then his adventures are not ended.
