Sea Fever

Synopsis

Eco-thriller - Autistic student Siobhán endures a research week on a ragged fishing trawler, miserably out of place in the close-knit crew. But in the deep Atlantic, an unfathomable life-form ensnares the boat. At first, the crew see the rare deep-sea animal as a chance to make a killing. But as members of the crew succumb to a mysterious infection, Siobhán must persuade them that to profit here is to risk their lives - and the lives of all humans.
