Forty-year-old Victoria returns from her tour of duty in Afghanistan with a case of PTSD, living with her problematic father and unable to integrate herself into crowded surroundings. She takes a job which allows her to spend her time away from most other people, working at a port on the Black Sea coast. One day she discovers a container filled with migrants, all of them dead except for one who runs off. She becomes more divorced from reality and thinks she has seen him. She begins to interact with the migrants she now recognises all around her, finally leaving in search of the migrant survivor.
