A tragic true-story drama about ambition and self-deception, following a man's unraveling as he pursues an impossible dream at the cost of everything.
In 1968, Donald Crowhurst, an amateur sailor, endangers the fate of his family and business, and his own life, blinded by his ambition to compete in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, attempting to become the first person in history to single-handedly circumnavigate the world without making any stopover.
