This is the captivating, extraordinary and larger-than-life documentary of how the unexperienced industrial diver, Nico, rescues the cook from certain death against all odds. However, when Nico miraculously finds the ship’s cook alive, having survived for three days under extremely life-threatening conditions, his problems have just started. Nico must now embark on an extremely complicated and life-threatening rescue mission, to get the cook through the ship’s narrow passages alive. The film keeps the audience on the edge of their seats and is told through authentic footage and audio from the divers’ helmet cameras and radio communication system.
