Synopsis
Set in the Caribbean, Deep Fear is an intense and visceral survival thriller with furious action throughout. Madalina Ghenea stars as Naomi, an accomplished round-the-world yachtswoman, who sets out on a solo trip to meet her boyfriend, Jackson - played by Ed Westwick - in Grenada. Her tranquil three-day sail aboard 47-foot yacht 'The Serenity' takes an unexpectedly dark turn when a storm forces her off the plotted course. Circumnavigating an uninhabited reef-fringed island, she responds to a distress signal to aid a sinking vessel where she finds survivors clinging to the shattered remains of a boat. Events soon take a malevolent twist when it transpires the survivors are savage drug traffickers; Jose, played by Stany Coppet, Maria, played by Macarena Gomez and Tomas, played by John-Paul Pace, who force Naomi to dive down into the hull of the sunken wreck to retrieve 350 kilos of cocaine. The plan is thwarted when Naomi finds herself surrounded by a frenzy of great white sharks -- lured by the dead bodies in the wreck. In a tense and deadly undersea attack, Naomi must use her wits, skills and determination to survive both the narcos and one of nature's most awesome apex predators.
