## Synopsis

In the summer of 1776, General Washington's Continental Army was running out of gunpowder. Captain Lambert Wickes had one chance to change that, but it would cost him everything. This is the true story of a desperate race across open water: 400 kegs of gunpowder, two British Man-O-Wars blocking the way, and a captain forced to choose between his ship, his brother, and his country.
