Six years after Caleb kidnaps Ling and holds her hostage on their yacht, he is officially pronounced dead; the cause of death recorded as "lost at sea." He'd been thrown from the boat during a struggle with Ling during a tsunami. But he wasn't even close to dead. The last few years he'd lived on a boat on the shore of a tropical island. After winning the Lottery Caleb managed to steal the deceased Jack Weber's identity and transfer a large sum of money to an offshore account in Weber's name. He'd lived frugally and rarely touched the money in Weber's name. If Caleb's narcissistic father had taught him anything it was never to share details with anyone, including a wife. He'd never told Ling how much he'd won and Ling never asked. Caleb rarely heard Weber's voice anymore, allowing Caleb the peace to devise a plan.
