1699. Dogged by the mysterious deeds of his long-dead buccaneer father, Jacob Hollum tries to find his place in a lawless world of blood and gold. The promise of a better life seemingly lies in the capture of the San Isdora - a Spanish galleon - and the beautiful Maria Fanéz he finds amongst its precious indigo and silver.
When a bloody disagreement between cutthroats strips everything away, Jacob is caught between pursuing his new sweetheart, or the lure of riches. He ends up in a perilous situation, where even his skill with the cutlass may not be enough to see him safe...
