In 1828, Richard and Mary's quiet life with their three children in rural Georgia is upended by the untimely death of his older brother and sister-in-law. When Joseph MacIntosh, a Creek Indian, seeks his help in settling a land dispute between the Creek and Cherokee nations, Richard sees an opportunity to assist in settling the dispute and uncover why his two relations died so tragically.
Once his brother's orphaned children and slaves are settled on the farm, Richard and his son, Paul, embark on a perilous journey. Accompanied by Joseph and the Creek Indian delegation, the expedition takes them into the center of disputes between the two Indian nations and the pressing claims of white settlers. The stakes are high, and for the powerful few it's not simply about expansion for the young nation. It is about much more.
Based on true events, this tale of family love and treacherous political intrigue sheds a bright light on life and turmoil along the early American frontier.
