About the film:
In 1969, the Norwegian government announced their discovery of one of the world’s largest oil fields, launching a prosperous period of offshore drilling. 50 years later, an oil platform dramatically goes down, and a team of researchers, including submarine operator Sofia, rushes in to search for the missing and assess the cause of the damage. What they discover is that this is just the start of a possible apocalyptic catastrophe.
