The sea may look calm...
But what lies beneath is never still.

When disgraced journalist Elena Cruz boards a luxury cruise ship to escape a career scandal and reconnect with her sister, she expects sun, silence, and second chances. But when personal items begin to vanish and a murder shatters the illusion of calm, Elena is forced back into investigative mode.

As secrets surface and suspicion surrounds every passenger, Elena must untangle a web of lies, grief, and forgotten crimes. Her sister may hold the key—but she's hiding something too.

Now, with a killer still aboard and time running out, Elena must decide:
Will she protect her sister's secrets...
or uncover the truth—even if it breaks them both?

When you've already uncovered one truth...
how many more are still waiting to drown you?
