In 1811, Captain Nathaniel Drinkwater discovers a scheme designed to exploit the growing hostility between Britain and the United States. The conspiracy threatens British naval power, commercial credit and the government itself at a moment when the Royal Navy is already stretched by the war against Napoleon.
Drinkwater enters a world of agents, financiers and maritime deception in which a single success could push the Atlantic powers into open conflict. Preventing the plan requires intelligence work as dangerous as battle and forces him to act before political leaders accept that war is approaching.
