== Biography ==
Dylan is a sophisticated professional gambler who develops feelings for a woman named Maggie James, who has a son named Connor. Dylan becomes close to her during the film. On New Year's Day, a massive wave of water races toward the ship. The majority of the passengers on the ship's decks perish as the wave strikes the ship's left side. The windows in the hallway explode due to the powerful wave's force, flooding the vessel with water as it twirls counterclockwise and sinks from the collision. 
The three make it through and join the final group of survivors. Robert Ramsey, Dylan's rival, is one of the remaining survivors. During their endeavor to evacuate, Dylan formulates a strategy to seek a way out of the sinking ship. Dylan rescues Connor and Maggie, and the three rejoin the group. Robert dives to the propellers' control panel, which he discovers is now submerged, to turn them off. Before he drowns, he notices that the off switch is inoperable, so he pushes the reversing button instead. Dylan is shocked and saddened by Robert's demise, despite his history with Robert and their prior conflicts. In an attempt to save everyone in a final act of bravery, Dylan finds a nitrogen tank and throws it against the hatch to the propellers. 
After going through the propeller shaft, the group slips into an inflatable raft before plunging overboard. As the ship sinks, the survivors observe. Choppers and adjacent ships show up and everyone is rescued.
