Chuck has always been better with tools than with words. As a boy, he put his body between his mother and a violent man and learned how to make danger stop. As an adult with unexpected wealth and no blueprint for intimacy, he buys a boat and turns it into the Glasswing-a floating haven where bad nights end with water, rides, and light. The show that broadcasts from its deck belongs to Edie, a beautiful, disarmingly practical host who teaches consent like a love language and makes Chuck want a future he can say out loud. Across the city, Detective Sera Bishop follows a pattern no one wants to see: men known for humiliating women keep meeting misfortune that looks accidental on paper. The routes, the receipts, the silences-they're starting to rhyme. When Edie and Chuck set a date, the city itself feels invited. Sponsors, enemies, and ghosts crowd the aisles. As vows draw near and Sera's timeline tightens, love and justice collide in a final choice that will echo long after the sirens. Content guide: dark romantic thriller; trauma recovery; intimate adult themes; coercion/abuse referenced; vigilantism; morally gray MC; consent-forward steam.
