About This Podcast

In the midst of the Napoleonic Wars in 1805, retired sailor Captain Acton reflects on his seafaring days while living ashore. Haunted by the sight of a ship ablaze on the horizon from the night before, he finds himself contemplating one last adventure—this time with his daughter, Lucy, at his side. Yet, as all seasoned sailors know, the presence of a woman aboard often spells misfortune. Will their journey unravel old secrets, or will it bring them closer together?
