A yacht trip across the Atlantic is a big undertaking. Jon, a single-handed yachtsman, plans to sail from the Bahamas to the Mediterranean alone, but friends persuade him to invite Celine to keep him company for the five weeks of the trip. She suggests that her half-brother, Barry, an accomplished sailor, comes too. The challenges of sailing in calms, violent squalls and storms are compounded, when Jon and Celine find that Barry is not what he seems! They have to confront a murder plan before they can reach the peace of the beautiful Azores.
