It is 1887 and the glory days of the clipper City of Adelaide and her
last Captain are over. Love, loss, ambition, family betrayal and the
mysterious disappearance of a ship carrying the heirs to a vast family
fortune. Such was the nature of the lives and disappearances of Grace
and Captain Edward Alston in 1890. A Victorian era sea captain and his
wife spend the last days of their lives filled with love, danger,
familial conflict and mystery.
