Amongst the men on board are Mikkel, the ship's cook, and the engineer, Jan, who along with the rest of the crew are taken hostage in a cynical game of life and death. With the demand for a ransom of millions of dollars a psychological drama unfolds between the CEO of the shipping company and the Somali pirates.
