Fleeing religious persecution the Leininger family seeks a brand fresh start in uncharted country - America. It is the mid-1700s and French and British forces are fighting across the abundant resources with the new territory. Carving out a homestead can be work, but the Leiningers labor joyfully. Then the unthinkable: At a raid, Delaware warriors kidnap the 2 Leininger brothers and make an effort to indoctrinate them to native culture. During their ordeal they never drop hope and"their faith becomes their own freedom".
