When a late winter storm unearths an ancient shipwreck, a sleepy Cape Cod town is turned upside-down, first by the media, then by the resurrected pirates who come back to reclaim their ship.
Local historian Arthur Cobb wants the ship for himself, but so does his nemesis, gazillionaire businessman Barney Zimmerman. Caught between the two is young Chris Duggan, the boy who found the wreck, who just wants to help the pirates get home.
He realizes the only way to do that is to rebuild the ship and fulfill the pirate curse, but soon learns dislodging the pirates from the Rump may prove more difficult than was deciphering the curse that brought them there.
Spanning a magical summer in the life of an isolated beach community, filled with indelible characters, this rollicking and heartfelt tale is sure to leave you feeling good.
