Synopsis

The true story of Ian McCormack, who grew up surfing the waters of New Zealand. Ian sets out on a journey with his best friend to chase the perfect wave. When Ian meets Annabel, a striking and kindred soul, he abandons his friend on a new quest of love and ecstasy. Jealousy overtakes their love. Broken by his own soul, Ian chases her to an island paradise to win her back. One night, Ian joins some friends on a night dive and in the dark water of the reef, encounters a group of dreaded box jellyfish with venom so virulent; one sting will kill. Ian is stung five times before he knows what’s happening and struggles back to shore. At the hospital, Ian is pronounced dead and is wheeled off to the morgue. Ian awakes to find himself out of his own body, in complete darkness in a cold and strange place. As he struggles with what has happened and is lifted out of the darkness on a perfect wave a light, rising to heaven at the feet of Christ, where he is forgiven, redeemed and given the choice to stay in true paradise or return to tell the world his story. Ian chooses to return. Fifteen minutes after the doctor had pronounced him dead, he awakens in the morgue.
