Mali's life has been marked by turbulence, on the run for a crime she didn't commit. Her escape from her home town of Sydney Australia, lands her in Jakarta, a city far from everything familiar. Still, her greatest challenge isn't her circumstances - it's the demons within her own mind. Desperate to survive, Mali takes an unimaginable job aboard an illegal shark-finning boat, where danger waits at every turn. Every day is a struggle, but in the darkness, she finds unexpected companions: Sammy, a wild and unpredictable force of nature, and Jesse, a steady, inimitable presence that brings her comfort.

As Mali settles into this new world, she begins to uncover whispers of a mysterious plot brewing on the high seas. The deeper she digs, the more she realises the stakes are higher than she ever imagined, and Jesse might be caught right in the centre of it. Now, Mali must summon every ounce of strength and determination to uncover the truth. With lives hanging in the balance, including the man she has come to love, Mali faces a choice: expose the conspiracy and save those she cares about, or risk losing everything to the treacherous waters surrounding her. Will she be able to survive this final test?
