The year is 1912, and George Calder and his little sister, Phoebe, are sailing with their Aunt Daisy from England to the U.S. to reunite with their father. The luxury ship Titanic and their first-class compartment are sources of wonder for the children to explore as they make their way across the ocean.

One evening, while wandering the ship on his own, George feels a tremendous, shocking vibration---what could it have been? Soon, it is all too clear—the ship has been terribly damaged by an impact with an iceberg and is rapidly sinking. George makes his way back to his stateroom only to find that Phoebe is not where she’s supposed to be. Will George find Phoebe, and get them both into lifeboats before it’s too late? What about his aunt, and the friends they’ve made onboard?
