Tramp follows the unexpected investigation of Yann Calec, the young captain of the Bela Helena, involved in a fraud prepared by his shipowner. A throbbing thriller set against the backdrop of commercial fraud.

The narrative begins in November 1949, in Rouen, a city located in the region of Normandy, in northwestern France. Julian De Trichère is a shipowner whose company faces a catastrophic financial situation. With an illness that threatens his life and a daughter confined to a wheelchair, De Trichère has "to make a terrible decision". He purchases an old Liberty Ship, a freighter built in series by the USA, to supply material to allied forces, during World War II. Meanwhile, the shipowner certifies that Bontemps, the armaments captain, circulates the rumour of the unlucky ship and that Boissin, an official from the inspection department, grants the now Bela Helena the maximum trust quota. In Cumana, in a traditional Venezuelan fishing port, hides a former Kriegsmarine submarine officer, whose restaurant is just the front of his smuggler activities. Unaware of what's going on, Yann Calec, a captain with an excellent service record, stumbles upon Ester Mallot, De Trichère's beautiful secretary, and is eventually hired.

Will Calec discover the truth and avoid the trap? Maybe we will discover it in the next episode.… (altro)
