The story follows Luis de Torres, a secret Jew navigating his identity as a Catholic convert during the Inquisition in Spain. Faced with persecution, he embarks on a sailing expedition to new lands, armed only with his faith, cleverness, and a silver hamsa for protection. As he journeys into the unknown, the narrative explores themes of faith, cultural identity, and the potential influence of Jewish traditions on his fate and the safety of the ship.
