Film je zgodba o treh ljudeh, ki se zberejo, da bi se soočili z lastnimi demoni in spoznali bistvo tveganja. V divjini Aljaske se nekdanji ribič Joe bori s spomini na nesrečo na morju, ki mu je skoraj vzela življenje. Na srečo ga romanca s pevko Donno navdaja z upanjem. Toda ko se njegov brat vrne v mesto in Joeja prosi za uslugo, se življenja Joeja, Donne in njene uporniške hčerke Noelle za vedno spremenijo.
Limbo tells the story of people trying to reinvent themselves in the Southeastern islands of Alaska. The story revolves around Joe Gastineau, a fisherman traumatised by an accident at sea years before, singer Donna de Angelo and her disaffected daughter Noelle who come into Joe's life. When Joe's fast-talking half-brother Bobby returns to town and asks Joe for a favor, the lives of the characters are changed forever.
