Jones, Hurst, Mitchell and Engel are deep sea divers on an assignment to service an oil pipe in the depths of the Indian Ocean. It's a dangerous task anyway, being 650 feet under and full of compressed air - unable to make any quick escape without risk of death. However, when they are stranded following a severe storm back above the surface, they begin to realise that they might have to with no way of knowing if help is on its way; after all, their boat up top has come crashing to the ocean floor. It's a dilemma that becomes all the more difficult to solve when the group start to suffer from the strains of being underwater for so long; rupturing lungs, decompression sickness and hypothermia are all upon them with the crushing weight of the abyss.
