An Australian couple takes a sailing trip in the Pacific to get over the recent loss of their son. While on the open sea, they come across a sinking ship with one survivor who is not at all what he seems.
A grieving couple's attempt to find peace on the open ocean turns into a claustrophobic nightmare when they rescue a man who seems far too calculated. Once the stranger boards their small sailboat, the vast Pacific becomes a trap with no way to escape.
