Disaster strikes when the becalmed tea-clipper 'Blackgauntlet' is struck at night by a passing steamship. Half of the crew manage to escape by lifeboat; the rest perish. Sharks, mutiny and the seas herself are the challenges for Cruiser, the 22-year-old second mate, and his crew. Will they survive against all odds?
