But the fierce storm is only one of the obstacles he faces in trying to rescue the stranded survivors who struggle against the power of the ravaging storm in their own isolated and precarious location huddled on a slippery rock precipice. As he attempts to rescue a trapped mother and her son, one final challenge forces him into a perilous life and death situation. It will take all his courage, ingenuity and physical stamina to survive this struggle to stay alive in the sea he loves. |
