A salvager of sunken treasures in Florida finds herself entangled in a complicated love triangle with the captain of a shipwrecked vessel and another suitor who shakes things up in this romantic drama.

In the 1840s, clipper ships navigating the shortest route between the Mississippi and the Atlantic frequently run aground in Key West. The salvage industry has become a lucrative venture, led by a spirited young woman. When her company's fortunes are threatened by a rival firm, she turns to her newfound love, the captain of a wrecked ship, who is recuperating at her home. To secure the captain's future, she charms the likely head of the rival company in Charleston, hoping to secure him a position on their first steam ship.
