Thriller | Horror
Mark Hawkins, former park ranger and expert tracker, is out
of his element, working on board the Magellan, a
research vessel studying the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
But his work is interrupted when, surrounded by thirty miles
of refuse, the ship and its high tech systems are
plagued by a series of strange malfunctions and the crew is
battered by a raging storm. When the storm fades and
the sun rises, the beaten crew awakens to find themselves
anchored in the protective cove of a tropical island...and
no one knows how they got there. Even worse, the ship has
been sabotaged, two crewman are dead and a third is missing.
Hawkins spots signs of the missing man on shore and leads a
small team to bring him back. But they quickly discover
evidence of a brutal history left behind by the Island’s
former occupants: Unit 731, Japan’s ruthless World War II
human experimentation program. Mass graves and military
fortifications dot the island, along with a decades old
laboratory housing the remains of hideous
experiments. As crew members start to disappear,
Hawkins realizes that they are not alone. In fact, they were
brought to this strange and horrible island. The crew is
taken one-by-one and while Hawkins fights to save his
friends, he learns the horrible truth: Island 731 was never
decommissioned and the person taking his crewmates may not
be a person at all—not anymore.
