Submergence (2017)

In the heart of Africa, amidst the labyrinth of windowless confines, Scottish hydraulic engineer James More is imprisoned under the stark scrutiny of jihadist captors. Thousands of miles across the globe, Danielle 'Danny' Flinders, a dedicated marine biologist, stands on the precipice of the icy Greenland Sea, ready to plunge into the abyss of the ocean floor. Her mission is daring, a dive into the uncharted depths to substantiate her hypothesis about life's beginnings. Their worlds are as disparate as they are dangerous. Yet, a shared memory of a stolen Christmas on a French beach binds them. A chance encounter that bloomed into a profound romance, a love as deep as the ocean Danny seeks to explore. Their recollections of this passionate love story provide a stark contrast to their current predicaments, offering solace amidst uncertainty. As Danny embarks on her perilous descent, unaware of James' fate, he is suspected of espionage by his captors in the African desert. Their love story unfolds in the crucible of their separate survival battles, each submerged in their own way - he, in a world of political turmoil and she, in the silent depths of the Greenland Sea. Submergence paints a gripping picture of two souls, isolated by circumstance, yet connected by a love that refuses to drown. As the threads of their lives unravel under extreme pressure, will the memory of their shared love be enough to keep them afloat? This captivating narrative crosses continents and dives into the deepest waters, exploring love's endurance in the face of life's greatest challenges.
