Chris is a young backpacker who travels through Africa making a living thanks to his self-confidence and cunning. But his trip is suddenly cut short when, after stealing a bracelet at a flea market, he ends up, after a brawl with the police, without a passport and without the means to return home. In a port bar he meets a restless group of sailors who are discussing an illegal cargo they plan to take to Europe. The men are very nervous and about to fight among themselves, but Chris sees how the charismatic presence of the man presiding over the table restrains them. He is the captain of the freighter, the Gull, which leaves for Europe the next day. Despite the danger, Chris is aware that this is his only chance to get home and decides to stow away on the ship. But the Gull is no ordinary ship and Chris does not realize that his presence is a threat to that hermetically closed world, with its own moral codes and some secrets that the crew will protect at all costs. When Chris is discovered, he becomes the target of a resentful and threatening crew and only survives thanks to the protection of Brookes who sees in him a mixture of youth and naivety, qualities that no longer exist on the ship. Their already difficult situation progressively worsens when, one by one, the Gull's crew members mysteriously disappear.
