Kissack’s story is intermingled with the story of five fishermen who got lost at sea after a storm off the coast of Mexico. As they drift, turtles sustain them, rainwater and reading a Bible one of the men had brought along. Two in their party die along the way and a Taiwanese ship finally rescues them after 286 days.
