There’s blood in the water. Sharks circle. And beneath them, something older and hungrier stirs—the megalodon.
Alex is a horror fan, but nothing on screen prepared him for life as a deckhand on a luxury yacht. Cruising the Great Barrier Reef seems idyllic—until the guests demand shark fin soup. Forced to slaughter the catch, Alex watches the deck run red. But the ocean never forgets. The blood has marked them, and from the depths, an ancient predator awakens.
When the carnage is over, Alex is left scarred, haunted, and determined never to set foot on a boat again. But escape isn’t so easy. His life unravels, his demons tighten their grip, and a blackout drinking binge in Bali ends with him enslaved aboard a brutal fishing vessel. With a sadistic captain at his back and the sea once again beneath his feet, Alex must face both human cruelty and a prehistoric nightmare that refuses to die.
The ocean has claimed him once. The question is—will it let him go again?
