After an inspiring chance encounter with his idol, rookie journalist Jay Bahadur uproots his life and moves to Somalia looking for the story of a lifetime. Hooking up with a local fixer, he attempts to get embedded with the local Somali pirates, only to quickly find himself in over his head.
A raw, bone-deep portrayal of a pirate leader turns this journalistic pursuit into a visceral survival story. This relentless journey follows an ambitious reporter as his quest for a headline spirals into a terrifying reality of maritime lawlessness.
