Synopsis:
Swept Away is inspired by the Avett Brothers’ 2004 concept album Mignonette, which was itself inspired by the story of the 1844 shipwreck of that name.
A whaling vessel is lost at sea following a violent storm and a tense drama unfolds between the small crew of four, when their food, water and humanity become exhausted.
