Thirteen-year-old Max is a powder monkey aboard the HMS Wind. His captain is in pursuit of a phantom French frigate, and he will stop at nothing to find it. When they reach the other side of the world, the French are discovered and battle breaks out at sea. Facing the choice to sink along with the burning ship or make the impossible swim to land, Max makes it to foreign lands barely alive. He soon discovers an enemy lying on the shore, and the sight is heart crushing. Far from the war, Max and his new companion fight to survive in their new reality at the end of the world.
