The narrative chronicles saturation divers Chris Lemons, Duncan Allcock, and Dave Yuasa, portrayed respectively by Finn Cole, Woody Harrelson, and Simu Liu, as they embark on a routine undersea maintenance mission. When a severe positioning failure on their surface vessel severs Lemons’ umbilical life-support line, he is left stranded on the seabed hundreds of feet below with only minutes of emergency breathing gas. While the stranded diver struggles to stay alive in total darkness and freezing water, his crewmates battle raging surface conditions to orchestrate a rescue operation.

The film incorporates sixteen hours of previously unreleased audio recordings of Albert DeSalvo, the man who confessed to murdering eleven women throughout the Boston metropolitan area. By comparing DeSalvo’s spoken admissions against verified crime scene documentation and police reports, investigators and author Casey Sherman reveal glaring factual contradictions in the testimony. The investigative special examines whether DeSalvo was coached into giving a false confession before his death in prison just prior to formally recanting. Subscribers can stream ‘The Boston Strangler: Unheard Confession’ on Peacock before it departs the service on October 26, 2026.
