Sailing around the world on their beautiful blue schooner, Jean, Isabelle and her son Damien, stop in Djibouti to fix the engine of their boat.

There they meet with a taxi driver, Mike, who helps them find the part for their engine. As they do, he asks them to sail away with them. Jean is worried, the Aden Gulf is dangerous, so as they sail away towards the Seychelles islands, he decides to embark Mike.

After a few days of sailing during which they learn to know each other, a Somalian fishermen boat comes towards them…
