A 30 de Novembro de 1803, uma corveta zarpa do porto da Corunha entre saudações e aplausos. Nela viajam 22 crianças órfãs cuja missão consiste em levar a recém-descoberta vacina da varíola aos territórios ultramarinos.

Acompanha-os Isabel Zendal, encarregue de tomar conta deles. Os heróis desta insensata expedição, chefiada pelo médico Francisco Xavier Balmis e o seu ajudante Josep Salvany, sobreviveram a temporais e naufrágios, enfrentaram a oposição do clero, a corrupção dos oficiais e a cobiça dos que buscam lucrar à custa dos desamparados. 

Se no fim esta aventura se transformou na maior proeza humanitária da História, deveu-se unicamente à coragem daquelas crianças que se viram condenadas a salvar as vidas de tantas pessoas, mas também à audácia dos chefes, homens sem medo que competirão pelo amor da única mulher a bordo.
