A young woman's desire to serve God leads her on an unexpected journey of the heart...
The year is 1798 and the British naval fleet is in the midst of fighting the war with Napoleon Bonaparte's France. Rebecca Halloway, a vibrant Christian girl of eighteen, finds her faith is about to be tested. Abducted and stolen away by a group of drunken, English sailors, she finds herself aboard a vessel bound for Portugal. Desperate to escape her captors and return home, she stows away on the 'Redemption', a massive British frigate under the strict command of Captain William Jameson, a seasoned officer with little tolerance for women. When her unauthorized presence is discovered, a fierce conflict ensues. Rebecca wants only to be returned to her home in Portsmouth, while Captain Jameson and the men of the Redemption only want her gone.
