A searing drought has come to Round Prairie, and with it, a young runaway from Georgia in search of his long-lost father. At Four Cedars, Lycurgus and Rachael Sherwood welcome their first-born child, Charles Douglas Sherwood. Surge is called upon to help the two runaways reunite, and to rescue them from the grasp of river pirates. The climactic reunion of these two tormented souls unfolds with all the explosive force of a hurricane.
