About to be killed by drug runners intent on stealing her boat, a young woman spots a naked man floating in an empty ocean. An ancient astronaut awakening from a 40-thousand-year sleep has no idea who he is or why he is floating naked in a world of water. Chance brings him to combine forces with a young woman on a passing sailboat about to be murdered by Bahamian drug runners. Driven by separate goals but increasingly attracted to one another, the two plot to turn the tables on a confused but determined mob. As the astronaut slowly recalls his ancient past, the gripping story of how he (and we) got here unfolds.
