With no previous sailing experience—far from the sanctuary of land and in the company of a stranger who is possibly delusional and certainly dangerous—Jim is suddenly trapped in a harrowing race for survival across the vast waters of the globe, fleeing a faceless threat that inexplicably knows where they are and where they are going. And when destiny places him alone at the helm, Jim's options are reduced to two: sail or die, because the terror relentlessly approaching at breakneck speed will not be shaken off or deterred—nor will it rest until Hustle and Jim Leighton both lie broken and lifeless on the ocean floor.
