A high-energy, absurdist comedy about a spoiled misfit thrust into a chaotic maritime adventure, driven by irreverent humor and fantastical oddness rather than emotional depth.

A foul-mouthed finishing school graduate mistakenly winds up on an ill-fated fishing boat, and faces the wrath of a crew that considers him bad luck.
