In 1805 Jack O'Reilly sails with his parents from Salem, Massachusetts on the Perdido Star. Jack looks forward to a new life in Cuba, but shortly after arriving, tragedy strikes and in a desperate escape Jack rejoins the Star as a member of the crew. Over the next three years, Jack has many adventures and becomes the leader of a group who call themselves the Right Honourable Brotherhood of The Shipwrecked Men of the Star. He is obsessed with returning to Cuba for revenge. His daring actions make him the talk of men of other vessels who come to know him as Black Jack O'Reilly. Not until Jack fears the loss of his two closest mates and attempts a daring rescue does he finally free himself from the chains of his fury and vindictiveness.
