It is 2008, and a new power is flexing its global muscle. Reaching across continents, it draws in innocent girls and purchases the weak to bribe the gullible. Yet their latest victims are on the run; fleeing Spain, trafficker and trafficked make common cause in a stolen car driven by a passing stranger. As they are pursued ever Eastward, they rediscover a lost innocence, and old alliances are unexpectedly rekindled by the sunlit shores of Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast.
But as loss becomes love, their intended role is revealed as part of a sinister plan for domination in undersea warfare. Setting aside their past, together they must face down the power that listens under the waves beyond Villa Proleta.
