Eric Dane, Odeya Rush, Ray Liotta and Saffron Burrows are set to star in “Dangerous Waters” from Signature Films.

Directed by and based on a story from John Barr (“Blood and Money”), with a script by Mark Jackson, the Dominican Republic-shot film centers on a sailing holiday that spirals out of control when a teenage daughter (“Cha Cha Real Smooth” star Rush) uncovers the dark past of her mother’s new boyfriend.
