Глава семейства Дэвид покупает яхту на аукционе. Он надеется начать новый бизнес по морским перевозкам, и яхта «Мэри» должна стать счастливым билетом для него и его семьи. Но чем дальше в море уходит лодка, тем более жуткие вещи начинают происходить на борту.
Sam, a soldier who had served in Afghanistan and Iraq, meets Amira when he visits her uncle, Bassam, who had served as Sam's Iraqi translator. Bassam and Sam have a special bond due to their time together in the war. Initially Amira does not trust him because he was an American soldier and her brother was killed by a bomb from American troops in the war. Sam's cousin, Charlie, asks Sam to help him with illegal hedge funds unbeknownst to Sam at the time. Amira is staying with her uncle Bassam since her father died. She sells bootlegged films on the street corner but is forced to stay with Sam after getting busted; immigration officials begin pursuing her. As the film progresses, Sam and Amira fall in love.
