Crossbones
by Rosanne Flynn
“Crossbones is a small-scale thriller inspired by real events, along the lines of Dog Day Afternoon.
Desperate and stranded far out to sea after failing to hijack a tanker, a group of Somali pirates happen across a small cruising yacht carrying a newlywed British couple and their young son. At first wanting only fuel and food, the pirates raid the yacht and set off a chain of events that ends with a deadly intervention by the international anti-pirate task force.
During She Writes Rosanne has been mentored by producer Kevin Loader.
