Kevin Wasserman was part of the crew on a cruise line which sailed the Tasman Sea, showing tourists the Great Down Under and the lush lands of New Zealand. The passengers and most of the crew are forced to abandon ship when a storm starts to agitate the sea.
Kevin spends eight days in a life raft, drifting out in the open waters, relying only on his dismal survival skills. A hint of hope shines on the ocean's horizon, which offers a helping hand...at first.
