In this historical
adventure, an African American boy faces prejudice and other challenges
in the years just after the Civil War. Nathan's mother has died

Ku Klux Klan. Nathan, his father and grandfather hope for a better
life when they move to Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
It's there that Nathan discovers --- and even aids --- an African
American crew of the U.S. Life-Saving Station, a group that rescues
sailors whose ships are sinking or in trouble. Will Nathan be able
to realize his dream of becoming one of these brave and heroic surfmen?
