The Boy Aviators' Flight for a Fortune

On a wind‑blown strand of Brig Island, a tiny New England fishing outpost clings to the rock‑slick shore. Zenas Daniels, a weather‑worn lobster‑boat captain, and his hard‑handed son Zeb have spent years hauling pots across the sand, their lives tied to the rhythm of Casco Bay. Their routine is abruptly interrupted by a freshly erected fence and a young, earnest local named Frank Chester, who insists the island is now private property.

What begins as a stubborn showdown between the seasoned fisherman and the determined newcomer quickly spirals into a clash of old customs and new claims. Zenas’s gruff humor masks a deeper fear of losing the freedom he’s always known, while Zeb’s restless energy hints at ambitions beyond the tide‑worn docks. As tensions rise, the island becomes a stage for daring plans that could lift the boys far above the water—and perhaps toward a fortune they never imagined.
