In 1815, the McClure family embarks on a daring voyage down the Ohio River, their flatboat laden with all they own. As they reach the untamed lands of future Indiana, they face the challenge of dismantling their vessel to construct a new home. Will their dreams of a fresh start withstand the trials of frontier life?
