Franck Drevil (Guillaume Canet, Tell No One) is Team DCNS’ star skipper, having won latest Vendée Globe - the most prestigious round-the-world single-handed yacht race in the world. However, with this year’s race approaching, a sudden moto accident forces Franck to withdraw. Franck’s team member Yann Kermadec (François Cluzet, The Intouchables), who has watched in Franck’s shadow for 10 years, sees his dreams suddenly come true as he replaces him at the last minute. Not only is Yann going to race his first Vendée Globe, but it will also be his first time racing on his own. Yann is fiercely driven to win, but the discovery of a young stowaway in the heat of the race will force him to put everything into question.
