Geschichte
An Australian couple, John and Rae Inman, embark on a sailing trip in the Pacific to cope with the recent loss of their son. While adrift in dead calm waters, they come across another ship that appears to be sinking. They rescue the only survivor, Hughie Warrilow, who initially seems grateful but soon reveals his sinister intentions. As days pass, Hughie's true nature is uncovered, leading to a game of cat and mouse between him and the couple on their yacht.
