[edit] Plot

The Leviathan is the largest ship ever built, clearly modelled on The Titanic. Launched in 1928 with 30,000 passengers and crew it disappeared and has spent the last twenty years lost in some kind of endless ocean. There are strange goingson deep in the bowels of the ship which occasionally leaks out on to the upper decks. Ian Edginton has described it as "Agatha Christie meets Silent Hill."
