A collection of short stories about life in the Caribbean in the seventies featuring a host of characters: some ambitious, some hopelessly naive, all determined to make a name for themselves in the world.

After a family tragedy, Kate Donnelly left the Caribbean behind forever. But a series of bad management decisions has left her family's diving and marine recovery business drowning in red ink. On request of her brother, Kate heads back to the beautiful and terrifying ocean that still haunts her nightmares.
