Forensic analysts Ellie Carr and Rachael Davies are called to investigate a chilling case at the private compound of Martin Post, the third richest man in America. His pregnant daughter, Ashley, is found dead on a nearby shore after a day trip in her motorboat. While the local coroner ruled her death an accident, Ellie and Rachael uncover the unsettling truth: Ashley was murdered. As they delve deeper, questions arise—was it a kidnapping gone wrong, or something more sinister? Ashley and her husband, Greg, had been collaborating with Martin on a groundbreaking defense initiative for the military, leading to suspicions of espionage. Martin suspects Greg may be involved, and Rachael’s instincts signal deception. If Greg didn’t kill Ashley, why is he so indifferent to her death? Caught in the Posts’ dangerous family dynamics, Ellie and Rachael race against time to uncover buried secrets at the heart of the crime. The turbulent waters of the Gulf grow more treacherous, threatening to engulf them as they seek the truth.
