1779 - Pirates are marauding the east coast of England, and the gentlemanly tactics of the Royal Navy are not enough to combat the raiders and the devastating scourge they visit upon the land. The Navy must now resort to using their most reviled captain to combat the ever-present threat of pirate attack. Captain Ash, an officer many think should have been court-martialled and hanged long ago, is reluctantly sent in. Villain some call him, devil do others, but he may be England's last hope.
