A stolid sea captain, praised for his dull reliability, steers a crowded steamer straight into a monstrous storm in the South China Sea. As winds howl and waves swallow the sky, panicked passengers and quarrelling crew reveal their true natures, while he clings stubbornly to duty, charts, and an almost inhuman calm that may save them all.
