fictionalized retelling of one of the most arduous passages
in history. After a massive storm in 1832, three men are
stranded at sea on their broken ship for over four hundred
days and hope for just two things-to survive their ordeal
and to find safe passage home to Japan.
Left in
the middle of the sea with not much else to eat but rice,
teenage boys Kenta and Kyu, and their older, spiritually
strong helmsman, Iwa, are tossed from one ordeal to the
next. As they travel from Japan to Vancouver to "Slave
Island" and Macao, the three Japanese sailors battle not
only the unpredictable elements, but also their failing
spirits, slavery, and their own government officials.
Sustained by eating seaweed and shellfish that miraculously
adheres to the side of their ship, the three men soon
realize that finding their way back home proves to be a more
difficult and dangerous journey than any of them ever
expected.
In this realistic seafaring saga that
will engage history fans and adventure buffs alike, three
brave sailors will come full circle and face their final fate.
