Sea Captain Jack Armistead (Bob Hoskins) doesn't think that his hero, Captain Scoresby, has been adequately honored for his trip from northern England to the Arctic waters in 1791. So he decides to retrace the route in his un-seaworthy (and condemned) ship. He gathers a motley crew consisting of two elderly sisters and an Australian hitchhiker–as well as a stowaway–and sets out on the voyage. Meanwhile, authorities and journalists are hot on his tail.

Two brothers–seven-year-old Damian (Alex Etel) and nine-year-old Anthony (Lewis McGibbon)–have lost their mother, and now, just weeks before the UK is set to change to the euro, the boys find a gym bag filled with English pounds. The discovery presents a problem: what to do with the cash in the short period of time before English pounds will become worthless paper. Damian believes saints are advising him to give the money to the poor, but Anthony thinks they should spend it on themselves.
