Traumatized after witnessing the sudden death of his loving wife, emergency responder Travis Pates watches his life take a downward turn when he is suspended for drinking on the job. With no family, no job, and unable to sleep due to vivid and terrifying nightmares, Travis decides can no longer go on.

Then one morning he wakes to find a lost child wandering down the highway alone, whose bravery and simplistic view of the world gives Travis the courage to face another day. But when he returns to work with an inspired outlook on life things go from bad to worse.

A Pacific storm had caused a tanker filled with thousands of gallons of crude oil to go missing off the dangerous and rocky coast of Washington State. Travis and his team are sent to investigate its last known whereabouts: a mysterious uncharted island where something is not quite right. It seems every survivor has gone mad.
