Melis Nemid would be happy staying on her own island and taking care of her two rescued dolphins, Pete and Susie. Unfortunately, her foster father brings trouble to her in the form of an obsessed weapons runner by the name of Archer. Her fater, Philip, has engineered a new type of weapon that can be used to create mass destruction and look like an accident even under scrutiny. When Philip gets himself killed, Archer comes looking for the weapon information from Melis. Fortunately, Philip has contacted Jed Kelby, a former SEAL to help Melis. There is a catch though, Kelby wants Melis to find a sunken city that Philip reasearched, and in return he will help her with Archer. After 3 deaths and much emotional torture the two finally trust each other and get moving on the search. | ||
