A derelict boat is found aimlessly adrift in the local waters of New York City. Investigating police units are shocked beyond belief when a corpse-like stowaway attacks them and then plunges into the murky waters below, leaving the living with one big mystery on their hands - and in the hands of news reporter Peter West.

Following the story to its bare bones, Peter teams up with the daughter of a scientist said to have gone missing in the Carribean some time ago. Together, they delve deeper into the mystery, traveling with another couple to a remote region of the Antilles Islands. There, they will find the answers they seek - but at a horrific price. Madness, pain, and fear awaits them in a desolate place where the dead walk once again and prey on all that still live.
