On a trip through the swamp country along the Gulf of Mexico, Davy and his old friend Flavius meet up for the first time with Jim Bowie, a man who would soon become a legend of the West--and who is destined to play an important part in Davy's dramatic life. Neither Davy or Jim know the meaning of the word "surrender", and when they run afoul of a deadly tribe of cannibals, they know it will be a fight to the death.
