It is only days before Britain declares war on Germany.Harry Clifton,hoping to escape the consequences of a family scandal,and realizing he can never marry Emma Barrington,has joined the Merchant Navy.When a German U-boat sinks his ship,Harry and a handful of sailors are rescued by the SS Kansas Star,among them an American named Tom Bradshaw.That night,when Bradshaw dies,Harry seizes a chance to bury his past - by assuming the man's identity. When Harry lands in America,he is arrested for the murder of Tom Bradshaw's brother. Alone,accused,and unable to prove his true identity,Harry is now chained to a past that could be worse than what (that) he left behind - but destined for a future that would be greater than he ever dreamed. . .
