It is 1847 and the Estrella del Mar sets sail from an Ireland devastated by famine, bound for New York. The crossing lasts twenty-six days, during which the fates of a maid with a secret, a ruined aristocrat, a future novelist and a ballad composer intertwine. Among the passengers also hides a killer eager to exact his revenge.
