It is the drama of a boiler cleaner stuck in the chimney of a cargo ship and of people who, no matter what, must deliver their goods to be paid. They must do so because otherwise it is they and their families who will suffer, their own children who will die of hunger in the streets of New Orleans.
It is the story of a choice. Choice of those who do not hesitate to crush their fellow men in order to live better themselves afterwards. And the choice of those whose death of others, apparently ignored by the former, upsets their whole life to the point of leading them to their own death as the only atonement.
