Raised in the island world of southeast Alaska, sixteen-year-old Robbie Daniels jumps at the chance to work as a deckhand on a salmon troller captained by legendary fisherman Tor Torsen. Catching
king salmon from dawn till dusk, Robbie is living his dream—until he discovers his mysterious captain's dark secret. Tor is illegally searching the coastline for historic metal plaques buried by
early Russian explorers. When Robbie learns the value of these hidden treasures, he fears he may know too much to survive. Tor's wrath and a violent storm at sea put Robbie's courage and wits to
the ultimate test.
