Deal, Kent, 1812
Eighteen-year-old Winnie Lennicker yearns for a peaceful life as a respectable married woman. However, when she becomes involved in her family's free-trading operations and caught by the Revenue, she is sent before the magistrates. Forced to confess that she is with child, now more than ever, Winnie is determined to give up smuggling. But the only way she can support herself and her unborn child is to carry on.
An opportunity presents itself to carry despatches on behalf of British agents and spies, and gold for Wellington's army. Needing the money, Winnie cant afford to refuse, but the journey across the Channel is treacherous. When Winnie discovers the despatches shes carrying arent what they seem, shes determined to right her wrongs in the hope of achieving her dream and leaving the free trade behind for good.
