Jed Crane was an English boy who had been sold by a cruel smithy to a amiable printer, Mr. Box. When his new master's mysterious dealings forced Jed to slip through the British lines, the indentured servant was captured by the rebels. His meeting with the firebrand of a major would change Jed's life, as he fights for some hard answers in his own war between liberty and loyalty.
