In a sea of lies, murder is the hardest catch.
In a raging storm, deep in the heart of the Gulf of Mexico, a fishing trawler captain vanishes. His death - an apparent accident - is ruled suspicious by the medical examiner.
Weary of military life, and thinking of moving on, Coast Guard Special Agent Frank Dalton is yanked from leave to investigate the death. He's ordered to partner with rookie agent Jessica Carter - a known troublemaker - and he can't help but wonder why on such a routine case.
Turns out though, they work well together, and quickly discover the murderer. But every time they close in, he slips through the net, evidence disappears, and more bodies are left in his wake.
With a flood of dangerous currents all around, Frank and Jessica soon realize the greatest threat may not be the one they're chasing, but the one they never saw coming from within...
