SYNOPSIS __________

Plot:
Based on the true story of two married scuba divers left behind by a careless boat crew, then speculating on the shark-infested journey that followed, this drama is so raw and chilling you may find yourself clinging to the festivalgoer next to you.

Featuring an unapologetically tight lens on the drifting couple, along with photography that uses no digital effects, the film's unique flow of time slows and bends as water and sky change color and mood around them. Actors Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis grip you with white-knuckled performances that stay true to the last surprising frames, leaving the audience to wonder in parallel play-along, "What would I do?" --- Joseph Beyer (Sundance)
