July,
1945
World War II is nearing its end.
The Nazis have been defeated in Europe, and Albie hopes he and
his brother, Joe, can return to normal life – or as normal
as it can be after losing their parents. But the war with Japan
rages on, and when Joe’s assigned to the USS Indianapolis, Albie refuses to be left
behind. He sneaks aboard, heading out to sea with the crew.
The voyage is cramped and hot,
and Joe’s furious when he finds Albie. Then torpedoes slam
through the hull, and the Indianapolis
begins to sink.
As chaos unfolds, Joe and Albie
get off the ship – but the nightmare is just beginning. There’s
little food, water or shelter. Days are scorching, nights
are freezing. All they can do is float and hope for rescue
before the Japanese navy returns.
Then another threat arrives, drawn
by blood in the water: sharks. Every moment becomes a desperate
fight to survive.
Based on the real-life sinking
of the USS Indianapolis
during WWII.
A gripping survival story centered
on brotherhood and resilience.
