Spoilers ahead
In the North Atlantic off Greenland, a colossal deep-sea oil rig named Colossus rises from the depths, a monumental achievement for Nexecon Petroleum. This new rig can drill deeper and extract more oil than any other, but its sheer size sits atop delicate fault lines, prompting geologists to warn that deep drilling could disturb the seafloor and unleash catastrophic consequences.
Onboard, a reporter, Christen Giddings, is invited by the company’s CEO, Peter Brazier, to document the project, accompanied by the trusted cameraman, Jake Thompson. The crew remains confident that nothing will go wrong and is skeptical of the geologists’ concerns.
