A worldwide catastrophe has left two young lovers separated on the opposite sides of the world. The only way to reach his future wife was to get on a boat, and although he didn't own one he knew how to get one. The single-handed sailing trip would go from the Mediterranean to India until he'd reach Southeast Asia, where his almost unreachable sea wife was waiting for him, or so he thought. He had no idea of all the strange things that would happen to him, of all the foreign creatures and evil forces that would demand their pound of flesh of him.
