Freelance writer, Jack Quinn, has lost everything - his job, his life savings and now his freedom. What turned out to be an opportunity to fulfill his dream of sailing single- handed from New England to Bermuda has transformed into a nightmare. Barely surviving a hurricane, Jack offers aid to survivors on a dismasted sailboat. But something is wrong. After arriving back to the mainland, Jack's arrested and finds himself the prime suspect in an extensive FBI investigation of smuggling, money laundering and murder. Overwhelming evidence mounts as Jack relies on two women, one of whom risks her life to find corroborating evidence to his story and track down the only witness in his favor--a humpback whale.
