A ship sails into the Pool of London, and for the few days it is loading or discharging, it becomes as much a part of the Pool as the wharves and warehouses, as the buildings of the city itself. To the tugmen, the watermen, the customs, the river police, it's just another job - usually. However, everything changes or two sailors on shore leave when they inadvertently become caught up in a crime as murky as the great river itself. (StudioCanal UK)
