Their sailing trip off Spain’s southern coast turns deadly when they are attacked by rogue orcas, triggering a harrowing survival struggle.
“[The film] follows Bill Pierce (Travolta), an estranged father trying to reconnect with his daughter Rebecca (Barrera) and grandson Sebastian (Dylan Torrell) when their sailboat is attacked by rogue orcas off the southern Spanish coast—setting off a fight for survival across open waters,”

Continued On-Screen Partnership for Father and Daughter
This marks the third time Ella Bleu Travolta will appear alongside her father, following their roles together in the 2009 film Old Dogs and the 2019 thriller The Poison Rose.
