"The monster is already gone. What it left behind is worse."
After the Kraken destroys a convoy of three ships in a single night, thirty-two survivors find themselves stranded on two lifeboats and a floating section of hull in the middle of the North Atlantic. They include pirates, navy soldiers, enslaved people being transported illegally, a merchant family, and a man who was locked in the cargo hold. Over six episodes — six days at sea — the social hierarchies of the old world are dismantled by starvation, thirst, fear, and the gradual realization that what the Kraken stirred up from the deep is still circling beneath them.
