Theodore Whitmore doesn't realize how badly he needs a change in his life. Recently widowed, he is a writer for a New York paper struggling with his grief and the care of his young son.

What starts as a summer sabbatical in Key West, Florida turns into an extended adventure embroiling Theodore in the Second Seminole War. Can peace be found for the country and the turbulence in his heart?
