The billionaire's daughter, hungry for her inheritance.
The start-up founder, out of money, and out of time.
The young dive instructor, struggling to stay afloat.
The husband, blinded by misplaced desire.
And the lover, hidden in the shadows.

And when the death toll starts to climb, everyone's at risk, and everyone's looking guilty .
