Jake Savage is doing some underwater photography off Key West when a shadow floats above him. Much to his surprise, it is a young girl, scantily dressed and floating face down. The police are called ... and they are labeling it an accident. Jake takes it upon himself to find out who she is and how she wound up dead. He soon learns that he has all kinds of help .... his elderly step-mother, her caretaker, a cop who is terminally ill, and assorted strangers he happens to bump into. It gets dangerous when he finds that the girl was somehow involved with sex trafficking, a crime committed against someone high up in the government with ties to a crime lord, and the super-rich (think people like the late Jeffrey Epstein). Attacks come fast and furious .... and Jake and his partners find themselves in deeper trouble than they ever imagined.

I should have known better. I was suddenly reminded of those characters I despised so much in movies. The ones who walked straight into a death trap, knowing fully well what was in store for them. They were the first to die. I had no sympathies for them. But maybe we all have that inside us in parts. That voice that pushes us to do stupid things. Like trying to cross the highway, when cars are zipping by at high speeds. When the lights came on, I realized I was one of them.
