A businessman, his wife and his lawyer interrupt their Puerto Rican holiday with a diving trip. Returning to the surface, they confront an apparent catastrophe that has left them isolated. The end of ordinary society intensifies tensions that already existed within the trio.

Historical context

Roger Corman reduces an apocalyptic premise to three principal survivors. The intimate scale makes personal possession, authority and dependence the central problems of a world without its usual institutions.
