A young officer joins a merchant ship and quickly becomes suspicious of the captain’s authoritarian behavior and eerie hold over the crew. As unsettling accidents begin to occur, paranoia builds about whether the captain is dangerously unhinged or if something more sinister is at play. The tension escalates into a psychological battle for control and survival aboard the isolated vessel.
