One week. One storm. One impossible decision.
Justin Sabor just wanted to reconnect with his childhood best friend on a fishing trip to Virginia Beach. But Todd isn't the same person anymore-something's wrong, something he won't talk about. And when Justin finally works up the courage to ask out Star, the woman he's quietly fallen for, it feels like life is finally moving in the right direction.
Then Hurricane Cindy changes course.
What was forecast to stay safely offshore turns into a direct hit. Roads close. Shelter fails. Help disappears. Trapped between rising water and violent winds, Justin and the people he cares about are forced into a series of choices where hesitation can be fatal-and every decision carries a cost that won't wash away when the storm passes.
As Cindy closes in, Todd's secrets surface, Justin's resolve is tested, and survival demands sacrifices no one is prepared to make.
Some storms destroy everything.
Some choices can't be undone.
And some survivors carry the weight of both.
A character-driven survival thriller about addiction, responsibility, and what it means to protect the people you love when there are no good options left.
