Seven strangers receive a mysterious note informing them of their impending inheritance of billionaire Logan Quick's fortune. They each receive a token and soon embark on a doomed cruise where they will have to conquer their own demons, and each other, for a chance at the money.
But someone on this boat has something to hide.
Can the survivors work out the truth... or are they destined to drown?
