Synopsis

Shawn and Elisabeth are a married couple trying to save their relationship on a diving trip in the Indian Ocean when their boat leaves without them, stranding them in open water miles from land. As the hours pass, the fight for survival drags an old betrayal to the surface — Shawn's affair, Elisabeth's fear that she was never his first choice — until a passing sailboat and its owner, Skip, appear to rescue them. Skip turns out to be worse than the ocean. What looks like salvation becomes a new kind of captivity, as Elisabeth realizes she isn't the first woman to end up on Skip's boat — and that getting off it alive means turning on the man who saved her life. Endless Waters is a survival thriller about two people who set out to save a marriage and end up fighting, together, just to survive the man who pulled them out of the water.
