Description
In June 1812, a Swedish fishing vessel sets sail from Danzig bound for the Swedish mainland. On board, two French naval spies secretly liaise with the boat's skipper over their mission to spy on the British garrison stronghold on Hanö Island. The island of Hanö is home to a flotilla of British warships tasked with keeping the Baltic shipping lanes open and engaging any French vessels that come across them. Meanwhile, Captain James Carey, commander of His Majesty's Royal Navy frigate HMS Hector, sights a French brig sailing northwards towards the Swedish coast. After engaging the ship, the brig surrenders after Hector's first salvo. As Captain Carey questions the French lieutenant, he becomes suspicious and believes the officer may be hiding vital information about an imminent French attack on the British island garrison. A chance encounter at sea with Anna, the beautiful daughter of the fishing boat's skipper, leads James into a passionate affair that will change his fate forever.
