GINNY HAMILTON is an eighteen year old military brat living in Oceanside California. Her life is relatively uneventful until the night her FATHER races home from work and throws her and her boyfriend, BRANDON, into a stolen truck and rushes them to the marina. Without explanation he forces them onto a sailboat and casts off...Ginny's suspicion that her father has lost his mind quickly disappears as nuclear explosions rock the coast. The trio can only watch helplessly as the land becomes an inferno; Ginny's father had just enough warning of the coming armageddon to get them to sea. But the world as they knew it is gone.The three survive at sea for months, fishing the poisoned waters, sailing away from deadly clouds of radiation, and trying not to turn on each other. The few others they come across have resorted to piracy; organized killers fighting for what meager supplies there still are.The situation only becomes more desperate and brutal as it wears on. Ginny knows their luck has finally run out when pirates attack their boat. During the violent struggle, death seems certain, when suddenly Ginny spies something in the waters ahead --- an island.
