Patty O’Donnell is often not what her rural Irish neighbors expect. A smart, strong-minded American, she is married to an Irish Steeplechase jockey, and works in her father-in-law’s racing stables as his assistant.
When a chance discovery reveals that a neighbor is being abused by her second husband, Patty and her family mobilize to help her, taking in her exiled teenage son and initiating a search and salvage effort for a sunken ship that’s cargo could help free the woman fro her abuser. When the boy later disappears and a kidnapping attempt on Patty is thwarted, the others immediately suspect the abusive husband. Patty is sent out of the country, while detectives attempt to locate the missing boy.
Patty joins the search for the shipwreck, unwittingly making herself the target of an international gang of thieves who want the salvage for themselves, and are willing to kill to get it.
