Synopsis

This is a suspenseful tale of three men trapped in the grip of unforgiving nature. Three lone sailors, each pursuing a solitary dream, are swept up in the open ocean by a monster hurricane that confounds all predictions, traveling east instead of west through the Caribbean. Incredibly, even as the eye wall of the storm roars overhead with 150-mile-per-hour winds, the three boats wind up in the same small patch of ocean, and at least two of them catch sight of one other. "At the Mercy of the Sea" retraces these sailors' journeys through life and across oceans to find meaning in the improbable intersection of three lives in these terrible hours.
