But when his mother dies after a lifetime of struggle, he becomes obsessed with finding an explanation -- perhaps even revenge. <br/><br/>The father he's never met is Kostas, the commanding officer of a luxury liner sailing the Mediterranean. Posing as a member of the ship's crew, Sebastien stalks his unwitting father in search of answers as to why he disappeared so many years ago.<br/><br/>After a public assault triggers outrage among the ship's crew, Sebastien finds himself entangled in a revolt against the oppressive ruling class of officers.
