Around the World in 80 Days

London, 1872. When Phileas Fogg receives an anonymous, hand-delivered postcard, with only the message ‘COWARD’ written on the back, he is shaken to the core. So much so that he takes on a wager against his friend Bellamy to prove that he can travel around the world in eighty days. He sets off with his new valet, Jean Passepartout, with journalist Abigail Fix joining him to document the journey.

Our trio land in the heart of the Italian countryside and hitch a ride on the train to Brindisi. But on board, Fogg encounters an arrogant bully who is challenged by Fogg’s easy rapport with his young, grieving son. Passepartout is struggling to process what happened in Paris and Fix is concerned that she may have backed the wrong horse.

Aboard the Carnatic, our trio are cast overboard into the Pacific Ocean by a strange man. Washed up on a desert island, Fogg is at his lowest, horrified at having brought Fix and Passepartout into this doomed adventure. As our trio focus on survival, they are forced to share secrets that split them apart. Will they be able to set aside their differences and survive their time on the island?
