[edit] Plot summary
A group of old high-school friends, Amy (Pratt), James (Speight), Zach (Lange), Lauren (Hillis), Dan (Dane), and his new girlfriend Michelle (Richardson) go for a weekend cruise on a yacht (which turns out to belong to Dan's boss). Amy and James also bring their baby Sara. Dan has arranged the weekend and pretends to own the expensive yacht.
James, Zach, Lauren and Michelle jump into the water for a swim. Dan follows with an unwilling Amy, hoping to help her get over her aquaphobia. However, nobody lets the ladder down before jumping off the deck and the group is marooned in the water.
Panic sets in as a series of bad luck and bad judgments cause quarrels and fatalities amongst the group. Michelle drowns herself. James dies after hitting his head on the boat's underside. Zach dies after Dan accidentally stabs him with a knife following an argument. Lauren swims away from the boat toward the coastline and does not appear again.
Finally, Dan breaks his diving goggles and uses the plastic rims to grip onto the hull. Amy climbs onto his shoulders and aboard the deck. She lowers the ladder for Dan and rushes off to comfort Sara. Instead of climbing up, he deliberately remains in the water waiting to die. Noticing that Dan hasn't come aboard, Amy jumps back into the water to save him.
In the last scene, a stranger on a passing boat discovers their yacht with Amy & Sara clearly alive and Dan ambiguously lying on the deck motionless.
