The Ferryman’s inspiration is the Greek myth of Charon the Ferryman of Hades. According to the myth, when we pass into the realm of the dead our spirit has to pay passage to The Ferryman for a trip across the river of darkness ? some day everyone must pay The Ferryman. A group of young adventure seekers in New Zealand charter a yacht to embark on a dream voyage across the South Pacific to the Fiji Islands. Becalmed and trapped on a still, fog-filled ocean, the tourists and crew of the yacht are about to cross paths with a sick, dying old Greek man adrift and alone on a stricken yacht. They venture into the fog and innocently go to the rescue of what they think is a fellow sailor ? a sick and dying man. Instead they find The Greek who has been cheating death for centuries plying a self serving trade of broken bodies for new ones over many centuries. The Greek is empowered with the Shifting Blade, a weapon which gives its possessor unlimited power. (Dosin PAK)
