A murder case is like a shark. It sleeps, it dies.

LAPD Detective Stilwell was forced out of the Homicide department and sent to a dead-end post on Santa Catalina Island.

But when the idyllic holiday destination is rocked by report of a body found in the harbour, weighed down by an anchor, Stilwell has a point to prove to his superiors - and will cross every line to solve the murder himself.

Its sink or swim, as failure will cost him everything while finding the killer will make him a target and reveal the dark heart of his new home.

But on a small island with big secrets - someone is always watching...
