"Keep your eye on him," so her mother said. But Lucy finds it rather hard to do so when her brother disappears into the night with dangerous men on his trail. Lucy must overcome her circumstances and conquer her fears to keep her promise and learn more of the secrets from her past. Her attachment to her brother compels her to strike out on her own and soon finds herself in grave trouble before finding help in unexpected places. It is her past, however, from which Lucy's own tenacity contributes to a much larger conflict of which she has only just become aware.
