SYNOPSIS

Based on true events, ADRIFT tells of six long-time friends who gather for an ill-fated celebration aboard a luxurious yacht. The champagne flows freely and soon some of the group decide to go for an impromptu swim in the middle of the ocean. Amy, a serious hydrophobia sufferer, stays on board to look after her baby and the party’s host, Dan, keeps her company. On impulse Dan decides to cure Amy of her fear of water through aversion therapy. But when he picks her up and jumps overboard with her in his arms he discovers the major planning flaw that will test the whole group’s will to survive. Nobody had thought to put ladder down and there is no way back onto the boat. Powerless in a place they once thought was paradise, the friends suddenly find themselves in a desperate struggle to live.
