Plot Outline:
Welcome
aboard the majestic S.S. Poseidon—a virtual floating city—as it departs from
Athens on a month-long cruise. Among the 2,500 hundred passengers is Mike Rogo, undercover
agent for Homeland Security. Among the crew of 1,200 is Kasim Badawi, a terrorist
conspiring to send an explosive message to the world. Acting on word of the impending
danger, the Poseidon pushes its engine at full speed toward the nearest port, slicing
through the churning waters of an escalating storm and directly into unavoidable
catastrophe. Only minutes into the new year, the bomb detonates, leaving the shredded hull
vulnerable to the roiling seas pouring into the wounded Poseidon. The 136,000-ton beast
capsizes, leaving a chosen few underwater and terrified for their lives.
It’s hell upside down as the disparate survivors make their way up…to the bottom
of the S.S. Poseidon: Richard Clarke, a husband and father torn between a mistress he must
save and the family he can’t live without; European pop star Aimee Anderson,
embarking on an American career and a new Hollywood marriage; Belle Rosen, a widow
enduring in the name of her beloved late husband; and Rogo and his reviled prisoner
Badawi, handcuffed together in a personal war of justice, sacrifice, and revenge. Through
the twisted metal inferno of the inverted ship, they must outlast the inevitable as the
Poseidon sinks deeper and deeper into darkness. From this nightmarish maze emerges a drama
of human spirit and resilience, of life-and-death emotions and psychological terrors, and
of the unyielding strength of the human will to survive against all odds.
