Synopsis/Details
A modern version (possibly) of the 1968 movie: A Twist of Sand (which was set in the late 50s).
Jamie Shaw and retired Rear Admiral Sarah Jarvis share a dark secret; their participation in the 2017 sinking of the Argentine submarine, the ARA San Juan and the death of its 44 man crew.
Over a decade later, an elderly prison lag (think Michael Caine) brings the couple together within a criminal conspiracy; the theft of a kilo of uncut sea diamonds concealed hidden aboard one of the many shipwrecks that litter a forbidden to visit area of the Namibian diamond mining coast — Das Sperrgebiet.
(There are 11 short explanatory readers notes in this screenplay. I'd argue they are necessary in order to understand some of the jargon contained within the script.)
