Matthew Seagull is an ordinary sailor from Port Island. His job was quite easy: He has to export fish to the close lands, that's because Port Island's fishes are the best in the whole world. Matt lives with his wife, Megan, and his two children: Blake, 12 years old, and Mary, 4 years old. They were happy untill the day when the sea started a war against a storm. Many ships were sank and the sailors of Port were afraid. But Matt had to travel. The night before he would sail, they were having dinner when his wife said:
- You don't have to go, Matt. -
- Yes i do. - Said him. - Our fish is very important to the close lands. -
- They don't have the wright of entering here and taking you to the ship! -
- But it's my job to take food to other families. -
- Why don't you stay here with us? -
- Because i'm certain that they would do the same thing for us. -
  The next day, his family walked with him to the harbor. Before he entered in the boat, he hugged his two child and kissed his wife.
- You have two beautiful kids and a wife. - Said her. - Don't die! -
- I promisse i'll come back. - He said.
Then her eyes were filled with tears.
He entered in the boat.
Only ten men were brave enough to travel including the captain. They were hoping that the storm wouldn't be in the way to Shore Island but they saw themselves in the middle of the storm by the night. The ten men tried to maintain the ship's course but after four of them fell on the sea and drowned, a lightning hit the deck killing two other people and reaching the ship's stern. Matt ran towards the captain and asked:
- Captain! What do we do? -
The captain looked at his boat and jumped to the sea.
Matt watched incredulous as the remaining crew trew themselves to death. The ship sank and he disappeared in the dephts of the ocean.

When Matt opened his eyes, he realized he wasn't alive anymore. There were no wind, he didn't fell anything. He was lying in the sand. A cold sand. He couldn't tell how many time had passed since he woke up. Next to him there was a old man.
- What happened? - Asked Matt to the man.
- You are in the Purgatory. - Said him.
Purgatory? The place where goes the souls for their purification?
- Am i dead? - Asked Matt.
- Yes. - Said the man. - welcome to Davy Jones's Locker.
Matt is a sailor with the perfect life: He has a wife, a son and health. But his boat is sunk by a storm and he dies.
He wakes up in Davy Jones's Locker, the place where all the souls that die in the sea goes, the Purgatory.
He's determined to find a way back to the Living World and starts a journey to ressurection.
