Summaries

Storyline

Three astronauts return to Earth only to discover their fight for survival has just begun after their damaged spacecraft is violently hurled through the atmosphere and plunges into the depths of the ocean. With oxygen rapidly running out and hope fading, they are forced to make an unthinkable choice: who will risk everything to reach the surface...and who will remain behind with the wreckage below. Three astronauts survive a violently destructive re-entry, only to discover their landing capsule is sinking into the uncharted depths of the ocean. Completely cut off from the world, they must battle both the sea and their isolation to survive.
