If They Knew
When Theo Parrish’s father dies, he inherits more than grief. He inherits Parrish Cruise Lines, the start-up company his father spent years building. Determined to prove himself, Theo boards the company’s first vessel for what should have been a simple training voyage.
Without warning, a merciless storm hits. The ship’s communications fail, power falters, and the vessel is left dead in the water.
As days bleed into weeks, supplies dwindle and desperation sets in. The question is no longer when rescue will come, but who will still be alive when it does.
