Summary

Jean Silverwood and her family are in the middle of a once-in-a-lifetime voyage around the world. As they sail serenely through the remote waters of French Polynesia, it seems the issues that once dogged them have been left behind. But when a freak night-time collision maroons them on a coral reef, they will have to overcome their greatest challenge yet. As the boat disintegrates, Jean must risk her own life to keep all her family alive… A Noiser production, written by Joe Viner.
