The Wait - Tapa blanda

Driven into a sudden, vicious storm in the Gulf of Mexico a young man fights for his life and faces his fears and demons on the water while his parents and lover grapple with their own ghosts of the past and hopes for the future on shore as they wait. THE WAIT is a gripping look at people caught in a crisis with reverberations from their past often drowning them in waves they can’t conquer, while the malevolence of the knowing storm outside fuels the fears within their hearts inside. It is an emotional study of hearts and minds, courage and cowardice crashing head on. Their survival depends upon their beliefs and their faith. It is a triumph.
