On the vast Caribbean Sea, one man's solo fishing trip becomes a harrowing journey into the depths of his own psyche.
Pete Corbin sought escape on the open water, hoping to leave his troubles behind. But as the shores of St. Croix fade into the horizon, he finds himself trapped in a nightmare far more terrifying than anything he could have imagined. When a monstrous storm leaves him lost and disoriented, Pete's grip on reality begins to slip. An ominous albatross circles overhead, and the sea itself seems to come alive with impossible horrors. Are these visions real, or manifestations of a guilty conscience? As past and present collide in a maelstrom of memory and madness, Pete must confront the demons that drove him to sea - and the dark secrets threatening to drag him under.
