Just days before the world erupts in the Russia-Ukraine war, Jasmine and Kave set out from Gloucester, Massachusetts in their thirty-foot fishing boat, chasing bluefin tuna across the remote Seamounts of the North Atlantic.

They sail straight into a nightmare.

After a violent storm disables their boat, a massive Chinese supertanker appears out of the fog, bearing down on them at full speed. The giant vessel shows no signs of slowing. Jasmine and Kave shout and wave frantically—but there is no response from the towering ship.

With only seconds to spare, they dive into the sea as the tanker crushes their boat beneath its steel hull.

The ship never stops.

As the vessel thunders past, they see a lifeboat trailing behind it on a long rope. Desperate for survival, they swim to the boat and climb aboard.

Inside they make a horrifying discovery.

A sailor lies dead, shot through the head.

Looking up toward the towering stern of the tanker, Jasmine and Kave see no one on deck.

They climb the rope to the ship.

What they find aboard is far worse than they imagined.

The wheelhouse contains eleven bodies. Six officers in white uniforms have been executed. Five others—dressed like pirates—appear to have died from a terrifying flesh-eating disease.
