A British Army Captain's struggle to find a French prisoner, illegally captured in the recently ended Seven Years War. However, he must first overcome other, more personal, trials before confronting the truth.

The year is 1761, during a campaign on the island of Belle Isle near the end of the 7 years world war. A British officer who, suffering the recent loss of his wife, also faces the loss of his commission due to a serious error in command judgment. To make things worse, the officer soon finds himself at odds with a renegade soldier whose selfish actions could well have cost Britain the war...and its own political stability.—Robert Nutter
