"If the fort at Niagara falls, Canada falls."
It's 1759, and the French are at war with the British over the Great Lakes Region. When the British besiege Fort Niagara, three reluctant allies—a French marine deserter, the wife of a British Army translator, and the survivor of a brutal French attack—must brave the unforgiving wilderness to warn the British of advancing French reinforcements. The success or failure of their mission will decide the war and the fate of a continent.
