1492. Christopher Columbus's crew includes three men who should have already died. They have managed to avoid their doom by participating in the uncertain voyage, but upon reaching the Canary Islands, they flee carrying one of the ship's sails. Meanwhile, in the Old World, a woman tries to save her dying sister in the hope that a healer can help her. Both voyages attempt to outwit death. Both are at the mercy of time and history.
