For generations, the Worthings have been a successful, esteemed, and respected waterman family in the Chesapeake Bay Pound Net and, more recently, the Charter business. Hardships are a part of life on the water. When the son, who was being groomed to head the business, fell into drugs three years ago, it had a severe impact on the business. But the family pulled together and dealt with it. The sudden murder of the patriarch staggers the Worthings and threatens to end their way of life. But the widow is a warrior. With the help of her nephew, who they took into their home ten years ago when he was orphaned, she struggles to revive the debilitated business and clan.
Six years from now, Paul Daniels, a dynamic young lawyer at a small but prestigious firm, handles the appeal of the Elmore family to overturn a decision awarded to a minor son under new Civil Rights legislation, specifically Title XII, Minors' Protection, and the subsequent Children's Rights Act. Daniels shocks everyone by winning the appeal, provoking powerful responses from a Children's Rights Title XII coalition and its opposing Family Rights Title XII group. The case goes to the Supreme Court. With the date for oral presentations just a week away, Daniels is discreetly visited by Mitch Harris, a Children's Rights champion - who is not yet born! That is followed by visits from Harris' adversaries - also from the future. A frantic week of intrigue, danger, threats and action ensues as all involved wrestle to impact the long term effect of the imminent Court decision on their interests.
