When Patty O´Donnell married her Irish sweetheart and moved from America to her
husband´s small home town on the Irish seacoast, the most dangerous things she
had to deal with were the half-ton racehorses in her father-in-law´s stables.
But when she and her husband return from a late night out to find their house
being searched, she discovers there are far worse things lurking in her bucolic
surroundings than temperamental Thoroughbreds. The teenage son of a late family
friend brings proof of a long forgotten debt owed by the O´Donnells, part of a
cargo lost in a shipwreck over a century and a half ago. He wants the cargo
salvaged, and quickly, so he can help his mother free herself from her abusive
second husband. The O´Donnells are willing, but the search and salvage mission
puts them square in the sights of modern-day pirates, who want the salvage for
themselves. Suddenly, Patty finds herself hunted and in a fight for her life,
where yielding to panic means a swift and ugly death.
