Quinn is a counselor at her family's seaside summer camp known for its legendary sea creature. She doesn't believe in Wessie but sees the creature while involved in a boating accident that kills her friend. Quinn battles grief and guilt on her journey toward self-forgiveness; her story is supported by a strong sense of place and a cast of distinct, well-drawn characters.

Sebastian has learned surprising news about Álvaro's connection to his family and flies to Miami to confront him. Sorosiak uses alternating voices to help flesh out the protagonists as they find their way to a more optimistic future.
