A prison ship on its way to a remote island prison runs aground on rocks and sinks. Mixed survivors of cons and prison guards struggle ashore, only to discover to their horror that another survivor got there first - the murderous & psychotic Leo Rook. Stranded, with no means of escape or call for help, the survivors must face a night of terror as they struggle to survive.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in Scotland on a real decommissioned lighthouse, which production had to evacuate during filming due to actual dangerous weather.
This bombed so hard in 2000 it became a direct-to-video cautionary tale, now enjoying ironic rediscovery as 'so bad it's almost good' horror.
