Based on a true story, In the 60’s a group of teenage boys from mostly upper-class backgrounds are sent to crew a school sailing ship to gain experience, discipline or whatever else their parents feel they lack. Captained by the strict but fair Sheldon ‘Skipper’ who has a one year voyage out on the open seas planned, the boys at first butt heads but soon learn to work as a well-oiled machine together. Through the ups and downs of life on the high-seas the crew pull together reasonably well, that is until a freak storm hits and every person on board is in a fight for survival.
