The story follows Reuben Stone, a young miller who is left to manage his father's mill in Torrent Bend while his father ventures West in search of better business opportunities. The narrative revolves around Reuben's struggles to maintain the mill, confront creditors, and unravel mysteries surrounding his father's absence, all while displaying bravery and resourcefulness. At the start of the novel, we meet Reuben, who is dealing with the pressures of running the mill single-handedly after his father's departure. He faces hostility from Mr. Jackson, a local merchant demanding payments, and struggles with the challenges arising from a sudden storm that caused damage to the mill. While navigating through his duties, Reuben’s life takes a dramatic turn when he rescues a woman and her child from a capsized sloop, which results in him being gifted the boat, the Catch Me. The opening chapters set the stage for Reuben's journey, introducing key conflicts around family responsibilities, financial strain, and the development of his character as he finds himself thrust into adult challenges and a mystery surrounding the people in his life.
