Sam and John set out on a journey of a lifetime. They travel around the world in a ship looking for Adam. Early on they decide that they were going to try new things and that neither would tell on the other what sins they commit. Neither one is prepared for the sacrifices they will have to make. Sam runs into some of the women he bedded while he was a slave during the war. And John embraces life on ship whole heartedly, including living with another man.
Adam never felt comfortable living on the farm. He is more suited for life on a ship, becoming the fiercest pirate in the south seas. The last thing he expects is running into his brothers as he overtakes their ship.
