520 1 $a"The container ship Maersk Dubai is one day into its passage across the Atlantic Ocean when two stowaways come out of hiding. Bosun Rodolfo Miguel promptly escorts them to his captain, assuming they'll be fed and set to work. To his horror, and that of the rest of the crew, the captain orders the men to be put overboard onto a flimsy raft, which in an instant disappears in the frigid, unforgiving water, with both men apparently lost. Over the next few weeks, the crew is increasingly divided between those loyal to the officers and those who cannot accept what they have seen." "Intercut with these events is the story of two Eastern European men who flee their impoverished country in search of a better life. Traveling across Europe to a port in Spain, they encounter the looming hull of the Maersk Dubai, again ready to set sail across the Atlantic. They clandestinely board the ship, and when they too are discovered, the crew is forced to come to terms with the earlier incident and act for good or ill."--BOOK JACKET.
