Battered by year-round freezing rain and constant winds, it is one of the most inhospitable places on earth. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Incredibly, at the same time on the opposite end of the island, another ship runs aground during a storm. Separated by only twenty miles and the island's treacherous, impassable cliffs, the crews of the \u003ci\u003eGrafton\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eInvercauld\u003c\/i\u003e face the same fate.
