Captain David Ross, a former American military man, is assigned to lead a British tugboat, shown the ropes by old friend Captain Chris Ford. David becomes embroiled in the lives of Chris and his reclusive Italian-Swiss flatmate, Stella, who has a mysterious past. Chris asks David to be the next in line to inherit the flat and care for Stella, should anything happen to him. As David faces the pressures of his new role, he begins to understand Stella's emotional turmoil, changing his perspective on the key to the flat.
