The story

James More (James McAvoy), is a hydraulic engineer who has been taken hostage in Somalia by jihadist terrorists, who suspect him of being a British spy. Danielle 'Danny' Flinders (Alicia Vikander) is a biomathematician working on a diving project in the deepest waters of the oceans to prove her theory about the origin of life on the planet.

James and Danny meet in an isolated hotel on the French Atlantic coast, where they both prepare their dangerous missions, and find, in each other, the love of their lives. Now separated, Danny begins his dangerous dive to the bottom of the ocean without knowing if James is still alive.
