llie’s back in his hometown, Anchor’s Mercy, ready for a chill summer after his mom’s finally cancer-free. But the island? Yeah it’s not okay!

Old friends are bitter, the vibes are off, and something dark is literally bubbling beneath the surface. Then a massive storm hits and let’s just say, what comes out of it is the stuff of nightmares!

Three weeks later, Ollie’s locked away on a military ship, being called a survivor. But no one really knows what happened. Except him. And whatever it is, it’s not over!

Ryan La Sala delivers eerie beach-town horror with heart, sharp writing, and a story that grabs you by the throat. Creepy, surreal, and so hard to put down!
