In 2013, Brett Archibald travels to Indonesia with some friends. His hopes for a memorable holiday come true… but for all the wrong reasons. During a stormy boat crossing, he falls overboard unnoticed. It’s the dead of night and he’s fifty miles from shore, without a life jacket. Brett has only one thing going for him: his indomitable will to survive.

For more on Brett’s story read his book, Alone.

A Noiser production, written by Joe Viner.
