When the death of her mother brings back a childhood mental disorder that ends her naval career, 27-year-old Rosie Carter seeks solace and sanity in the refurbishing of the boat she used to sail with her father, dreaming that one day she would make a solo voyage across the Atlantic. When the money runs out she resorts to theft, which lands her in deep trouble. But her obsession to make the voyage drives her on, until at last she finds the freedom she so yearns on the high seas.
Rosie's oceanic travels lead to wonderful and disturbing discoveries, not only of the world, but also of herself - about her psychosis and her sexuality. But even as the adventure begins, the dangers Rosie faces become frighteningly apparent.
A darkly romantic adventure with a conclusion you won't see coming.
