The body of a young girl drifts over a reef where Jake Savage is photographing lionfish, beautiful brown-striped creatures with feathery pectoral fins that could almost make one forget their venomous spines. For an instant, Jake thinks she might be watching him, but she has no snorkel or mask. Also, she isn't wearing a swimsuit, but rather is clad in only a shirt and panties. And she can't have looked at him because she has no eyes. What has this child done to die so young, to be forgotten and left to drift until consumed by the creatures of the sea? A voice whispers to let her go, but he can't leave her to the whim of the wind and tide .... a simple decision with deadly consequences.

Jake Savage is doing some underwater photography off Key West when a shadow floats above him. Much to his surprise, it is a young girl, scantily dressed and floating face down. The police are called ... and they are labeling it an accident. Jake takes it upon himself to find out who she is and how she wound up dead. He soon learns that he has all kinds of help .... his elderly step-mother, her caretaker, a cop who is terminally ill, and assorted strangers he happens to bump into. It gets dangerous when he finds that the girl was somehow involved with sex trafficking, a crime committed against someone high up in the government with ties to a crime lord ,and the super-rich (think people like the late Jeffrey Epstein). Attacks come fast and furious .... and Jake and his partners find themselves in deeper trouble than they ever imagined.
