Sixteen Estonian refugees-seven men, five women, and four children-decide to seek freedom in an old boat called the Erma. Thirty-seven feet long, her decks only two feet above the water, looking as if she couldn't waddle across Stockholm bay, let alone venture into open oceans, she sets out on a long and perilous voyage to cross the Atlantic.
