On a trip through the swamp country along the Gulf of Mexico, Davy and his old friend Flavius meet up for the first time with Jim Bowie, a man who would soon become a legend of the West—and who is destined to play an important part in Davy's dramatic life. Neither Davy or Jim know the meaning of the word "surrender", and when they run afoul of a deadly tribe of cannibals, they know it will be a fight to the death.
