Relatives of three immigrants from Eastern Europe await their
arrival in New York in 1893. When passengers from their ship are
ferried from Ellis Island to the Battery, the three immigrants are
nowhere to be found. Ship line officials inform the relatives that
the three had died at sea and their bodies dropped overboard, but
how they died was not known. Flashbacks describe the lives of the
three persons up to the time of their deaths, revealing their
character and behaviors that might influence what led to their
deaths. The grieving relatives are determined to find out how they
died in order to have closure and peace of mind. Sara Newman, the
sister of one the deceased, locates the ship's captain and gets his
explanation of what happened to her brother and the others. She
then finds the ship's purser, who tells her a different story about
what took place. Later, she speaks to a neighbor's sister, who had
been on the ship, and gets a third account of how the three
immigrants died. Being unable to achieve closure, Sara's family
hires an immigration lawyer to investigate and determine what the
real explanation was for how the deaths happened. The lawyer's
research leads to a court hearing that uncovers the facts, but not
before some intriguing developments.
