In 1860, veteran, Samuel Kingston has settled down in Baltimore, Ireland with his young family. Hearing news that his father's body has been found in Nicaragua, he resolves to bury his father in Clonakilty. As Samuel, Sofia, and Padraig pass through New York, filibuster, William Walker's men attack them, and they learn Walker plans to invade Nicaragua and reclaim his presidency. Realizing neither his family nor Nicaragua will have peace while Walker is free, Samuel plans to lure Walker into a Royal Navy trap of Greytown. Confident the British will lock Walker away, Samuel continues on via the Panama isthmus. When Walker's filibusters almost hijack their boat, Samuel learns Walker plan to use the Valle estate in Chinandega as a gateway to assault Nicaragua. When he frees Filipe and his old company, the Euronicas, Samuel discovers Walker never intended to invade Nicaragua directly, but planned to assault the British island of Roatan off Honduras, link with General Cabanas' Honduran rebels, and attack Nicaragua from the north. Walker hides out in Cozumel, waiting to assault Roatan. Samuel's old enemy, General Guardiola, now president of Honduras, captures Samuel's party and will execute Sofia unless Samuel helps Commander Salmon and HMS Icarus capture Walker. Finding Walker ensconced in the fortress at Trujillo Beach, Salmon negotiates with him against Samuel's advice, and Walker slips away, leading his filibusters into the jungle. Samuel and his Euronicas hunt Walker down, capture him, and hand him to the Salmon, believing he will him to Guardiola and secure Sofia's liberty. Instead, Salmon bows to American political pressure and sails for New Orleans to hand Walker over to the Americans. In the tense standoff that follows on the Icarus, Samuel convinces Salmon to turn around and hand Walker to Guardiola and save Sofia's life. The Hondurans quickly convict Walker and execute him by firing squad.With Walker dead, Samuel, Sofia, and Padraig return Samuel's father's body to Ireland.
