Five rats washed off a pier. One seal pup found in a crate. A single plank keeping them all alive. Lac knows the Black Ocean. He knows the water doesn't give second chances. But his new crew—a failed inventor, a fallen champion, a grieving brother, and a silent swimmer—might be worse than the sea. Because out here, the real question isn't who survives. It's who gets eaten first. And that pup looks like the weakest link.
