He's catapulted into a world completely foreign to him, but he's now trapped - and what of his childhood friend, Mary? Little does he know she's in grave danger in America; her family struggling through the potato famine back home. He must return and avenge the English landlord who treated his family so cruelly, but how can this ever be possible now?
