The freight ship MV Rozen is on the way home when it is hijacked by Somali pirates. The ship’s cook, Mikkel, is one of the hostages. The pirates demand 15 m dollars ransom money from Peter, the owner back in Denmark. The camera reveals the fine changes in Mikkel and Peter’s faces as the tension rises: there will not be any winners.
