The Plot…<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a World War II a submarine sinks a passenger ship, but is also sunk.\u00a0 There are only eight survivors. They end up in the same lifeboat.\u00a0 Introductions show they’re from diverse backgrounds.\u00a0 There are three ship workers, a famous columnist, a rich man, and three ship passengers (one a mother whose baby was killed in the attack).<\/p>\n

When they see another man attempting to get in the lifeboat, they assist him.\u00a0 The last survivor turns out to be a German soldier from the submarine.\u00a0 The initial thought is to kill him.\u00a0 Luckily for him, the vote is to spare his life.<\/p>\n

Lost at sea, with little food or water, the odds of survival are slim.\u00a0 What none know is one of them has secrets that could get them all killed.<\/p>\n
