Summary:

Based on the book "The pirates of Somalia: inside there hidden world" by Jay Bahadur.

Based on a true story, a rookie journalist risks his life to uncover the story of a lifetime. In 2008, rookie journalist Jay Bahadur forms a half-baked plan to embed himself among the pirates of Somalia.
