THE STORY SPOILERS

The year is 1994. On 20 December, Trevor Evans and Wilbur Bancroft broadcast to the KBNA Network about the capsizing of the S.S. Poseidon 21 years prior, and how it's wreckage falling off an undersea cliff could cause a major catastrophe. In other news, they attempt to talk about the remake ship, the S.S. Triton, however Trevor insults Wilbur's 1989 glasses. Wilbur is fired once they are off-air because he leaves to watch over his friend's house.

Aboard the S.S. Triton a few days later, on 25 December, Wilbur had invited his friends Axel and Shawn to come and film a documentary for him, where they would describe the details and differences between Poseidon and Triton. While filming in the hallway, they meet Jersey Greene whom introduces himself. Wilbur jokes around with him, calling him New Jersey. After Jersey leaves, Shawn reprimands Axel for not saying bye.

On the sun deck, Reverend Lawrence Lakeman preaches to a group of around a dozen people, including Donnie, Heather and Dyanne. He says that they must continue to donate to the church if they wish to go to heaven. Heather calls him out as "Noah didn't kill Goliath" and that Jesus would not need money. They argued, with Lawrence telling Heather that she would go to hell for being an alcoholic. After finishing the sermon, Adrian arrived late, to which Donnie scolded him and informed him that it was closing. After this, Heather and Dyanne talked in their cabin, where Dyanne was knocked unconscious by falling luggage.

In the Ballroom, Shawn, along with Wilbur, recorded Jersey and Desmond (who had just been walking outside) rehearsing for the New Years' party. After Desmond commented that they didn't have a singer, Jersey suggested that he would do it, however they reiterated they were not trying that again. Axel had been sent to look for a singer, and after a false start, he discovered Derek, who wasn't a lunatic. He hadn't sung in a while, but he was going to try his absolute best to help out.

At KBNA studios, right as Kylie Minogue and Sigrid Thornton were being interviewed, one of Trevor's colleagues commented how Wilbur was not there, however his friend explained he was fired. Martin found this comical, as it was Wilbur's first day.

As Lawrence was watching a biblical documentary on his TV, Virginia knocked on the door of his room. After singing 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' in mockery of her name, she asked when his next sermon was. After receiving her answer, Lawrence believed she was pressuring him for information that he didn't know. She apologized and assumed he knew how it felt, to which he didn't But he did make some remarks about crimes he commited, which caused her to run away.

Nearly a week later on 31 December, Axel was making his way down the stairs in the same instance that Sergio was chopping cake and raddish. In the disco lounge, Donnie had had fourteen drinks in a half-hour, and Howard tried to stop him. After introducing himself, Donnie recognized Howard's surname because he had read about it from a newspaper in his grandmother's attic. Howard refused to give him another drink, which Donnie fought him over. The fight was witnessed by Dyanne, Heather, Wilbur and Roy.

In the ballroom, Heather makes Dyanne get a glass, but she met Jersey there who told Dyanne to ignore Heather. In the hallway, Adrian and Donnie get ready for the party. Shawn thanks Wilbur for taking them on such a nice ship instead of a tugboat, despite Axel thinking it wouldn't be so bad. Derek directs everyone's attention to the stage as he welcomes Mariah Carey, who began to sing 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'. Sergio, distracted by the defrosting, drops Heather's food, which causes her to berate and cuss at him before leaving. Shortly afterwards, Donnie and Adrian were able to feel the tremor caused by the S.S. Poseidon falling off the underwater cliff. After Derek announced 'Happy New Year', a tidal wave slammed into the ship, causing it to capsize. During the capsize, Jersey was almost killed by a falling piano. This killed most of the passengers and crew.

After the ship capsized, the lights came back on which revealed many people had been killed. Derek, Roy and Desmond pulled themselves from the rubble, aswell as Jersey, whom Derek was shocked to still see alive until Jersey revealed that Dave was actually the one who was killed. Dyanne, Shawn and Axel (albeit without cameras) also were able to survive the capsizing, however Wilbur, Virginia, Lawrence and Mariah Carey did too - albeit not surfacing from the rubble until a bit later - with Mariah Carey and a half-dozen others being immediatley crushed by the Christmas tree. Adrian and Donnie managed to make their way over to platforms near the exit doors, with Donnie going to look for a rope to help them climb up. After receiving it, he told everyone to climb it quickly. Two people climbed too quickly, however, and died.

After escaping to the hallway above, Virginia, who was the last one to climb the rope, was not recognized by anyone. Donnie remarked about this, but everyone admitted they didn't know each other. After Adrian and Roy spoke to each other, Derek sent Donnie farther into the corridor to see if it was passable. During this time, Lawrence climbed the rope and threatened to kill Virginia along with himself. However, he was killed after Donnie ran in telling everyone to move as a wall of fire was coming towards them. Lawrence was unable to move in time and was killed, and Donnie was injured. Derek was also hit, but was alive. Wilbur had gone into the hallway too, but into a seperate room where he freed Heather from her luggage. She yelled at him, but shortly afterwards they flirted. After Dyanne bandaged Donnie's injuries, Axel heard Sergio's cries for help from the ruined kitchen. He went in to go help, lifting up a fridge to allow Sergio time to escape, but was killed by it. Shawn, angered, punched Dyanne, and was ridiculed by Desmond for this.

After making their way to the stairwell, Desmond and Derek debated about going up or down, to which Sergio told them to go up. Some of the first to ascend were Donnie and Adrian. The last five were Sergio, Jersey, Dyanne, Virginia and Roy - however they encountered a struggle after Sergio noticed the rubble would break if Jersey moved. Jersey stood still, however the rubble still broke, causing his death and Virginia and Roy to be hanging on to a piece of collapsed stairs. Roy climbed up, but Virginia slipped and fell down, to the horror of Dyanne whom had just befriended her.

At the top of the stairs was the disco lounge, which had electric sparks flying everywhere. Although dangerous, Wilbur crossed first with relative ease. He attemped to open the door at the end, with Heather's encouragement, but Roy had much more success, where they found Broadway. Back inside the disco lounge, Desmond and Derek had an argument. Derek refused to back off, so Desmond pushed him over. Derek screamed that he was just trying to get past and that Desmond tried to murder him, with Desmond saying that "[Derek] knew exactly why [Desmond] did that". After making it across, Desmond noticed the rising water and decided to lock Donnie inside the disco lounge as his leg was stuck in a girder, because once the water entered that room they would all be goners.

Donnie was disoriented and confused at first, but seemed to understand what had happened after a while. The sloshing water caused Donnie's girder to knock him over and break his leg, dangling him over the water. After reminiscing about his late girlfriend, Vera, he was killed once the water came into contact with the pyrotekniks, being electrocuted to death. Adrian listened to his screams as he died.

After Derek called out Desmond for the murder, Desmond pinned him the wall and yelled at him not to interfere. Wilbur pulled out a gun and took Sergio hostage, explaining how he was going to use everyone to escape and then kill them, as he had had enough of all their bickering. He led them into the Ballast tank as that was where Sergio said to go, and violently pushed Sergio down the ladder. He explained that they'd have to wait for the water, to Wilbur's chagrin. They managed to survive, albeit Sergio being stuck, where they were flung into the Engine room.

Roy pointed out to Wilbur that he did not have a gun anymore, and that they could overpower him, however Heather revealed she had one too, and used it to keep the others back as she and Wilbur escaped. Roy attempted to beat up Wilbur to allow Dyanne time to escape, however Heather began to beat her up using her gun. Adrian knocked Heather into the pit below, causing his death, however Heather climbed out. The others began to make a mad dash to the exit, and Desmond took Heather's gun and attempted to shoot her with it. However, the gun was rigged and he accidentally shot himself, causing his death. Derek then murdered Wilbur. Heather did not care, as "two people couldn't be the sole survivor". However, Dyanne found Wilbur's gun and aimed it at Heather. Heather said that she wouldn't do that, however Dyanne was actually not aiming for her, and shot the propeller shaft, causing a wall of pressurized steam to hit Heather and throw her into the abyss.

After Derek, Roy, Shawn and Dyanne escaped the Engine room, Sergio revealed he had made it out a few minutes after the others did, but stayed low during the fight. They then watched rescue ships come toward them. At KBNA Studios, first Shawn, then Roy, then Sergio, Dyanne and Derek were interviewed by Martin. Derek's interview took place just as the S.S. Triton took its' final plunge. A helicopter flew overhead as this happened.
