In the turquoise waters of the Maldives, a centuries-old legend of a mystical coffee recipe lies hidden among thousands of islands. Captain Sol, a daring “barista of the sea,” and his loyal companion, The Italian, journey across the archipelago in search of it. While others chase gold, they pursue caffeine, adventures and the perfect waves.
