A heart-pounding love story that grips like a riptide, and doesnt let go
Fifteen-year old Sam has moved from the big city to the coast stuck there with his mum and sister on the edge of nowhere.
Then he meets beautiful but damaged surfer-girl Jade. Soon hes in love with her, and with surfing itself. But Jade is driven by an obsession: finding and riding a legendary huge wave no one has ever ridden.
As the weeks wear on, their relationship barrels forward with the force of a deep-water wave into a storm, to danger and to heartbreak.
