Shortly after midnight the 37 foot sloop Mysteria, sailing from the Panama Canal to Hawaii, was attacked by a pod of pilot whales and sunk within 20 minutes. Lorenzo and his wife Karen quickly took to a small, rubber lifeboat where they spent the next sixty-seven days surviving the elements, natural predators, and each other. Even before the voyage began Karen feared for her life, believing that her straying husband had intended to kill her somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. She had only one choice ... kill him before he could kill her. Once the boat had sunk, however, she realized that in order to keep the leaky raft afloat they needed each other to stay alive. Would their ordeal bring them back together or would they each have their second chance to carry out murder?
