Synopsis: Theo (12) comes from a traditional fishing village. Although his parents, Simon and Sharin, are pushing him to pursue an education and not the dying fishing trade, he is sent on his first fishing trip (together with his father, grandfather and a Malian migrant worker - Moussa) to keep him out of trouble. But the trip goes terribly wrong, and a fire on the 'Simshar' causes the boat to sink, leaving the crew stranded in open water...

Simultaneously, Alex (32) - a medic reluctantly relegated to the migrant open center on the island - is dispatched onto a Turkish Merchant Vessel which has rescued a group of stranded African boat people. Malta and Italy wage a bureaucratic war over who should take in the migrants, leaving Alex stuck on the Vessel... On land, Sharin desperately tries to find out more about the 'Simshar' which uncharacteristically is not communicating. In the same village, John - Alex's best friend and a soldier in the marine unit - tries to get his friend off the destitute.
