A story of desperate immigrates looking for adventure, advancement, love, and most of all, a sense of belonging, in the New World. London, 1763: Gifted musician and medical apprentice Michael Shea is living rough after being blackballed from working as a surgeon's assistant. Not only does Michael lose his gig playing fiddle in a tavern, he also is framed for the murder of a tavern patron visiting from colonial Virginia. Worse, Michael realizes his ladylove wasn't interested in true love. He was just a divertissement. Heartbroken and out of options, Michael and his friend Danny escape the turmoil by shipping out on the misnamed brig The Delight as lowly indentured servants. On board are forty-eight other desperate souls-everyday people risking their lives to immigrate to the wilds of America, hoping for a better life in the New World where they can break free of a rigid class system, prejudice, and poverty. Michael's medical skills prove critical as the passengers endure the ravages of the long trans-Atlantic journey from London to Annapolis: killer storms, accidents, sickness, and Barbary raiders. While attending to the sick, Michael realizes that he has not yet escaped the murder for which he was framed-and that the real killer will do anything to keep his identity a secret.
