When a woman is killed by a shark off the coast of The Virgin Gorda, Constable Teddy Creque suspects foul play. After all, the sharks around the idyllic island aren't known for attacking humans. Unfortunately, while Teddy may be convinced that this death wasn't accidental, not everyone on the island takes kindly to his meddling. He is forced to be creative in his pursuit of justice. In unfamiliar territory, and with his sole witness a silent child who communicates in unorthodox ways, Teddy must earn the trust of the reserved residents of the touristy island, tangle with a loquacious parrot, and follow the clues on a path which leads him to conspiracy, redemption - and a tragic death.
