Samuel loves the woods. He is more comfortable in the woods than he is in his small community. He spends the time hunting, providing food. But when he returns home from one of his hunting trips, he finds a scene of devastation and death. People who he knew and loved are gone. But where are his parents? They are nowhere to be found.

As he looks for his parents and tracks the party that was responsible for their disappearance. As he comes across more of the devastation as he moves closer to the people who have kidnapped his parents, he comes across a family who offers him food. Shortly after he leaves, that same family is hit by Hessian soldiers, with only the daughter escaping into the woods. Samuel goes after her, to find and help her get somewhere safer. As he and Annie work their way toward where his parents have been taken, they find a group of people willing to help him find his parents.

See the American Revolution as told through the eyes of Samuel, and his quest to not only find his parents but save a young girl who has lost her entire family.
