Our plan was simple: capture the Worm Hole, that brutal, perfectly rectangular abyss carved into the Atlantic edge of the island. But nature had other ideas. Within minutes, we were completely blindsided by explosive wave action, and just as we were settling in, a massive storm front barrelled toward us, turning a standard shoot into a total survival test.
And then thereβs Diarmuid. Despite receiving 74 persistent wind warnings, he decided to send his drone into the fray anyway. Was it a stroke of genius or a complete disaster? Youβll have to watch to find out.
