In the midst of a devastating global pandemic, Emily (Paige McGarvin) and her mother secure passes to board a ship heading toward a safe-haven sanctuary. However, a severe oceanic storm destroys the vessel, leaving Emily washed ashore on a deserted tropical atoll as the sole survivor of her group.

She soon discovers another young woman, Cara (Sofia Masson), has also survived the wreck and adapted to life on the island. As the two women rely on each other to build shelter and search for food, their shared isolation fosters a deep, romantic bond. Their peaceful existence is upended when a mysterious stranger named Finn (Samuel Braun) washes ashore claiming to be a rescuer—forcing Emily and Cara to question his true motives and protect what they have built together.
