Steven Callahan is an American that has completed a transatlantic voyage on his boat, the Napoleon Soto. He built it himself and has put years of work into it. He sets out from Spain for the Canary Islands which should take him only two weeks. Soon he is struck with a rogue wave and is forced to abandon ship. He escaped on his 6 person raft with little supplies. Now he is alone and adrift in the vast Atlantic Ocean.

Callahan has been adrift for 75 days now. He has seen another ship pass close by but it does not see him. His water still is now completely rotted and torn. He has to rely on rainwater and his tools to collect it. Callahan's spear is almost useless now but he has started catching birds that rest on his raft. In the states his family is still looking for him and they now begin to think he is dead.

Callahan has recovered from his severe depression and finally fixes the hole in the raft for good. He creates a more efficient water collecting system but the water becomes tainted with waste and poisons him. Callahan makes a sextant and finds his location on a map. He is en route to land but he could overshoot it. Callahan floats into a highway of trash miles long in which he gathers many more supplies.

Callahan has been adrift for 24 days now. He continuously catches and eats the Dorados that have formed a permanent school around his raft. Three ships have passed, two within a hundred feet, but no rescue has seen him yet. Sharks continue to batter the raft in the night almost capsizing it. His fresh water supply now rapidly grows after patching the still. He has reached a shipping lane and rescue seems imminent.

Callahan is still adrift in the Atlantic Ocean. He is rationing his water and food. Exposure to saltwater has caused boils to form which can lead to infections. Sharks now frequently bump his raft. He has made a solar still for fresh water. Eventually he catches a small fish which can be added to his food supplies. He is gradually becoming schizophrenic from lack of sleep and his overall health is deteriorating
