BOAT STORY
NEW TO BRITBOX
GENRE: CRIME DRAMA
A high-octane thriller about two strangers who discover an abandoned drug haul on an isolated beach.
When two hard up strangers, Janet and Samuel, stumble across a haul of cocaine on a shipwrecked boat, they can’t believe their luck. But it soon proves a poisoned chalice when they find themselves entangled with the police, masked hitmen, and a sharply-suited French mobster known only as ‘The Tailor’.
