## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You're a survivor afloat in the Atlantic after a U-boat attack. But one more passenger climbs aboard: a man from the U-boat itself. Hitchcock's wartime chamber piece finds the enemy less obvious than it seems. It leaves one wondering who is really in charge.

**Mood tags**: paranoid, raw, slow-burn
