After his father's death, Jay Gardiner travels to the Pacific coast to search for his remains. During a dive, however, his mission spirals completely out of control: First, he is attacked by a giant squid, which then falls prey to a massive sperm whale. Jay survives the attack, but to his horror, he finds himself trapped inside the enormous marine mammal. With a limited supply of oxygen, he begins a race against time, as he only has about an hour to find a way out. In this life-or-death situation, Jay must rely on everything his father once taught him. The memories of his father's harsh lessons might be his only chance to win the fight for survival and escape the whale alive.

These are the cinematic moments that take your breath away! With incredible power and intensity, this gripping and suspenseful survival thriller tells a relentless story in images never before seen.
