1740, Britain. His Majesty's ship, the Weiger, sets off in pursuit of a Spanish galleon. There are 250 healthy men on board.

1742, Brazil. To the shore docks a homemade boat with the remains of the team "Wager" - 30 half-dead exhausted sailors who survived scurvy, shipwreck, managed to reach a deserted island, survived and returned back.

The country welcomed them as heroes. Newspapers wrote about them, each received material compensation.

Four years later, three more members of the Wager team returned from hell – the captain and two of his assistants. Their version of what happened shocked everyone. . .
