The two just can t seem to get along. But could all their bickering be a sign of something more an attraction between the two? Afraid of loving a man duty-bound to war, she ignores the growing affection between them. Battle breaks out on Lake Erie. As U.S. Naval officers, John and his brother attend their posts.
