The narrative primarily unfolds during the year 1780, focusing on the tumultuous backdrop of the American War of Independence. The protagonist, Hurricane Hurry, finds himself embroiled in the naval conflicts between the British Royalists and the American rebels, all while grappling with themes of duty, loyalty, and love as he navigates his burgeoning romance with a young American lady.

As a young boy, he is educated in the ways of the sea and dreams of adventure, eventually joining the King's Navy.

Early encounters with friends, such as the earnest Tommy Rockets, and glimpses of complex naval battles set the stage for a grand adventure filled with peril, romance, and the moral dilemmas of war.
