Description
Adrift in hostile waters, during the last vicious battles of the Triad societies after their expulsion from mainland China, Dogwatch is a classic tale of a man's darkest hour. The Captain, William (Steven Vilder) is ruined. He has a shady past, a drinking problem, and a dirty job to do at the lowest ebb of his career, William has agreed to sink the Arabella for an insurance scam.
His men are a riffraff bunch picked up in an obscure Asian port. From the youthful Sparrow, who dreams of becoming a movie star; to Klipper, a man who loves the engine and the monkey wrench, and Hong a man who forsees a grisly end for the Arabella and her crew.
As for the enigmatic and seedy piano player Palmer (
Russell Kiefel), no one seems to know why or how he came aboard
Dogwatch, a tale of lost men adrift on the high seas, in a battle for survival.
