Sailor Yann Kermadec has always dreamed of competing in the prestigious Vendée Globe round-the-world solo yacht race. When a star skipper is injured in an accident at the last minute, he gets his shot. Determined to make the most of his golden opportunity, Kermadec fearlessly weathers storms like the seadog he is and seizes the early lead. Just when it looks like nothing, even a broken rudder, can keep him from victory, Kermadec discovers something hidden on his boat. Something that’s not supposed to be there at all – another person. His mysterious passenger appears sickly, but if discovered, it will mean his immediate disqualification, his golden opportunity squandered. Kermadec decides to do what anyone would do – continue the race.
