ADRIFT
By J. Brian

GENRE: Historical, Thriller
LOGLINE:

During World War 2, a lone American scientist - the sole survivor of a top-secret Allied mission gone disastrously wrong - desperately works to survive as his chances of being rescued are fleeting when he finds himself alone and surrounded by Nazi ships and U-boats in the middle of the icy North Atlantic... while drifting on a giant iceberg.

SYNOPSIS:

At the height of World War 2, the Nazi U-boats were notorious for their merciless naval assaults on shipping lanes in the Atlantic. In an attempt to level the playing field, U.S. and British forces put together a top-secret project to build a submarine base beneath a giant glacier in the North Atlantic from which to launch a counter-offensive against Germany’s navy. Soon enough, a 12-man team of civilian scientists and military personnel is airdropped onto the glacier on a 15-day mission to test its integrity and load-bearing ability.

Five days into the mission, one of the tests involving a series of small explosive charges causes a massive and violent avalanche. Moments later, Mike West, the team’s lead geologist, finds himself in the belly of a mountain of snow and ice with a broken nose and a dislocated shoulder.

After digging his way out, he spends the first day searching for survivors and discovers that he may be the only one to have walked away from the deadly avalanche.

On the second day, while continuing his search for survivors and trying to salvage equipment, he discovers something even more unsettling than being the sole survivor… he’s drifting in the open waters of the North Atlantic on a giant iceberg.

Facing a ten-day wait before the Allied extraction team discovers what has happened, and with no way to communicate with the outside world, Mike finds himself at the mercy of the elements as the ocean currents carry him through the Nazi-infested waters of the frigid North Atlantic.
