Logline

August 9, 2006. Three Mexican fishermen are found near the Marshall Islands, more than 5,000 miles away from home, after 9 months and 9 days adrift. They declared, 'We survived by eating raw fish, capturing rain water and our faith in God'. Media from around the world followed their way back. Weeks later a U.S. reborn-Christian book editor signed them on a millionaire contract to make a fiction film of their ordeal, convinced it's a message from God. It seems the months at sea where just the beginning for a longest journey, packed with more sophisticated and less obvious dangers.
