The most advanced ship ever built was designed to be unsinkable.
The Oceanus is a marvel of modern engineering. Powered by artificial intelligence, equipped with triple-reinforced hull compartments, and guided by ORCA, the world's most advanced maritime safety system.
On its maiden voyage, families board expecting luxury, adventure, and peace of mind.
Thirteen-year-old Leo Harris isn't so sure.
When a rogue wave unlike anything in recorded history rises from the Atlantic, the Oceanus faces the one thing it was never programmed for: uncertainty.
As the ship begins to fail and the AI continues broadcasting reassurance instead of warnings, Leo and two other kids must make impossible choices in the middle of a deadly storm. With injured crew members, trapped passengers, and lifeboats that won't deploy automatically, survival depends not on technology, but on courage.
In the face of disaster, who do you trust: the machine built to predict everything... or the human instinct that knows when something is wrong?
