Smith is a science fiction story set in the early 1960s that unfolds as a historian from the future travels back in time to observe the legendary sea mystery of the "Mary Celeste." Hopping aboard the ship in 1872, his plans take an unexpected turn when the captain uncovers that his presence will forever change the ship’s story.
