Sailor Paul Rodney thinks he’s cheated death when he barely escapes with his life from a disastrous storm that lays waste to his ship and its entire crew. The sole survivor of the crash, Rodney drifts helplessly on a huge iceberg. When he first spots another vessel in the distance, he’s sure that his worries are over. But in truth, the true terror has just begun.
