Angelos Kreouzis survives a shipwreck and reveals to the committee in charge that the disaster was not an accident, but the consequence of the neglect of the ship by those responsible.

In the middle of the raging sea, a relentless squall maims the already unseaworthy steamship "Christina" of the rapacious Richter Shipping Corporation and sends to their watery grave twenty-six men. Now, as the sole survivor of the unprecedented maritime tragedy, the uncompromising and ferociously honest oiler, Aggelos Kreouzis, finds himself with his back to the wall, struggling to defend the truth to the bitter end.

However, can one man alone take down a powerful business empire?—Nick Riganas
