On a moonlit night aboard the modest merchant vessel Seagull, the eighteen‑year‑old deckhand Sam Steele hears a soft splash and discovers a drenched, half‑submerged teenager clinging to a tiny boat. With quick instinct he hauls the shivering escapee aboard, learns the boy is a runaway cabin‑boy fleeing a harsh shipboard life, and offers him dry clothes and a warm fire. Their unexpected meeting sparks a blend of camaraderie and curiosity, as the stranger hints at a far‑off destination and a purpose beyond mere freedom.
Drawn into the stranger’s whispered plan, Sam finds himself pulled toward an adventure that will take them far from the quiet harbor and onto the sun‑baked streets of Egypt. Along the way they will confront unfamiliar customs, hidden dangers, and the promise of a treasure that could change their futures. Listeners are invited to follow their daring partnership as youthful courage meets the mysteries of a foreign land.
