Captain Nathan Peake, who has been released from duty in the Royal Navy, is covertly commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to lead a naval operation in the Caribbean Sea, thwarting the plans of the French to establish a new empire on the North American continent.

However, their initial challenge lies in the re-conquest of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti, where they face opposition from rebel slaves under the command of the African general Toussaint L'Ouverture. Nathan is dispatched from England with a small squadron, consisting of British and American sailors, to disrupt French supply lines at sea and supply guns to the rebel forces. However, if they are caught, they will face disownment by the British and US governments, as well as the likelihood of being executed by the French as pirates.

This thrilling adventure will take Nathan into a relentless conflict with the French Navy in the turbulent waters off Saint-Domingue, where he will become deeply involved in one of the most brutal colonial conflicts in history.
