The Caribbean-set film is being directed by Marcus Adams and involves a heady mix of storms, drug traffickers and tiger sharks.
Ghenea will play Naomi, an accomplished round-the-world yachtswoman who sets out on a solo trip to meet her boyfriend Jackson in Grenada. But her tranquil three-day sail aboard 47-foot yacht The Serenity takes an unexpectedly dark turn when a storm forces her off the plotted course.
Circumnavigating an uninhabited reef-fringed island, she responds to a distress signal to aid a sinking vessel where she finds three survivors clinging to the shattered remains of a boat. Events soon take a malevolent twist when it transpires the survivors are drug traffickers who force Naomi to dive down into the hull of the sunken wreck to retrieve 850 kilos of cocaine.
“This script presents the opportunity to create a truly original context for the genre,” said Adams. “The malevolent narcos characters juxtapose acutely with Naomi and Jackson, an earnest and honorable couple who are daring to live their dream of running a yacht chartering business in the West Indies.
Ghenea added: “I loved this character from the moment I read the script. Naomi is a fiercely confident, vibrant and highly accomplished young woman – it’s an honor to be playing such an empowering female lead role. I’ve had lots of fun completing a month of intensive diving training in preparation for the role and am super excited to start shooting alongside such a talented team.”
