"Cynthia is twenty-one, bored and desperately waiting for something big to happen when her bootcamp instructor, the striking Anahera, suggests they run away together. With stolen money and a dog in tow they buy Baby', an old boat docked in the Bay of Islands, where Cynthia dreams they will live in a state of love. But theres an intruder waiting to upset Cynthias plans and when a trip to an island utopia goes horribly wrong, a rot sets in on their relationship" -- Publisher information.
