Dramatický milostný příběh se odehrává na pozadí jedné z největších katastrof první světové války. Luxusní zaoceánský parník Lusitania vyplul z New Yorku 1. května 1915 a o týden později byl zasáhnut německým torpédem, což vedlo k potopení lodi a smrti 1 195 osob, což mělo zásadní dopad na průběh války. V květnu 2013 se americká spisovatelka Sarah snaží najít inspiraci pro svou další knihu. Při hledání narazí na starý kufřík po svém pradědovi Patrickovi, stevardovi na Lusitanii, a objeví v něm něco, co by mohlo změnit historii. Rozhodne se vypravit do Anglie pro další informace. V dubnu 1915 se bohatá Američanka Caroline nachází na palubě Lusitanie se svým manželem Gilbertem, který je neustále zaneprázdněný prací. Caroline se nudí jako manželka úspěšného podnikatele a potkává starého přítele Roberta, s nímž tráví více času a začíná se zajímat o napjatou situaci kolem. Zjistí, že na palubě se odehrává něco tajného a nebezpečného. Tess, která cestuje druhou třídou, kradla od dětství, aby měla na jídlo. Tohle má být její poslední loupež, po které se provdá a začne nový život v Anglii. Jak se loď blíží k evropským břehům, její víra v nový začátek slábne a začíná pochybovat o tom, komu vlastně může věřit.
