Plot: Steven (Edward Norton) and Clarissa (Jennifer Lawrence), a rich couple who are yachting in the Caribbean to celebrate their anniversary. The yacht is headed from their vacation home in Bermuda to the Bahamas. The freak storm hits the area, sending a giant wave right at the yacht, tipping it onto its side. The lifeboats are capsized by the storm, separting everyone.

Washing up on a deserted island, Clarissa is completely alone until she sees the body of the captain in the water. As she attempts to resuscitate him, Esteban (Diego Luna), a deck hand, appears and also unsuccessfully tries to revive the man. They bury the captain and, under Esteban's guidance, set out to build a shelter and find food.

Two days later, Steven also turns up on the island. Although things go smoothly for a little while, Steven eventually suspects Esteban of having desires on his wife and declares the man his enemy, promising to ruin his life once they get off the island. Esteban responds that Steven had better get home soon, because he can ruin Steven's life right there on the island. This puts Clarissa in the uncomfortable position of her loyalty to Steven conflicting with the realization that they both need Esteban's help to survive. Steven insists that he can provide for them both, but it quickly becomes apparent that he cannot.

Steven steals Esteban's goggles to go fishing one day and when Esteban discovers this, he threatens to kill Steven. Clarissa attempts to get Esteban to calm down and, in a fit of passion, they have sex. Afterwards, Esteban reveals that he has loved Clarissa from the moment he first saw her, but it is also clear that this is a way for him to hurt Steven. Steven returns and sees Esteban and Clarissa together. Steven furiously rejects Clarissa, dragging her by the hair to Esteban's hut so she can live with him.

While fishing, Steven finds a boat on the ocean floor. He drags it to shore and attempts to repair it. Esteban and Clarissa go for a night swim. Afterwards, as they start having sex, Clarissa gives Esteban the idea of stealing the boat so they can get away together from the island and leave Steven behind. They plan to do so while Steven is out fishing. However, they do not get far before the boat begins to sink. They are forced to swim back to the island and to Steven, who attacks the tired Esteban with a spear he has crafted, stabbing him in the back. Clarissa pins Steven to the ground, attempting to kill him with a knife. Esteban, with Steven's spear stuck in his back, picks up a heavy rock to crush Steven with, but he loses his balance and falls backward, impaling himself on the spear.

Some time later, a yachting family drops anchor near the island and explores it, discovering Clarissa asleep in her hut. She leaves with them, but does not mention that Steven is also on the island. Steven, who is fishing, sees her leaving on the yacht and calls out, but Clarissa ignores him, abandoning Steven on the island.
