When he learns that the war has followed him to his home in Erie, George joins the monumental and dangerous task of building a fleet of American warships in the harbor. When the ships are placed under the command of Oliver Hazard Perry, George must choose between remaining with the safety of a home and family or joining the squadron in the Battle of Lake Erie.

His decision comes with a high price, and he must consider the cost.
