“The only thing more dangerous than death...is survival.”
Traumatized by a fishing boat accident many years before, Joe Gastineau has given up his hopes for a life beyond the odd jobs he takes to support himself. That quickly changes when nomadic club singer Donna de Angelo and her troubled teen-age daughter enter Joe’s life. Both mother and daughter fall for Joe, increasing the friction between them. The tension continues to build when Joe invites them on a pleasure cruise up the Alaskan coast, discovering too late that the trip may cost them their lives.
A hauntingly bleak journey into the Alaskan wilderness, this film feels like a slow-motion descent into inescapable dread. It's a character study steeped in regret and simmering tension, where the vast, indifferent landscape mirrors the characters' inner turmoil.
