Deep in the Kentucky woods in 1870, there live five orphans. One is a parentless and tribeless Wyandotte Indian. The other four are runaways from Kentucky's only orphanage. They live peacefully in a tepee until orphan catchers come and capture them. After a narrow escape, the five orphans flee to a nearby Indian village, hoping they will be accepted there. It turns out that only the Indian boy can stay. The other four have another plan: to sail the seas far away, escaping any orphan catchers and people who will take them back to the orphanage, knowing they are worth lots of money. Their journey to the sea isn't easy. It's full of life-changing sacrifices, lessons on self-forgiveness, and loyalty to one another all the way to the sea and freedom.
