Le film traite des sentiments d'une jeune femme qui navigue en solitaire à travers le monde. La solitude lui fait perdre sa santé mentale. Le thème du film, à certains égards, est proche de celui de Shining de Stanley Kubrick. Le réalisateur Richard Franklin tente de créer une atmosphère d'isolement et d'enfermement, vécue par le jeune fille seule dans l'immensité de l'océan.
