His closest friend, marine artist Adam Greene, doesn't know, only that Jack has left him a cryptic written message and also confided in him shortly before his death that he was hot on the trail of exposing a deadly and dangerous secret.
When Jack's house is ransacked on the day of the funeral, Adam feels compelled to take up Jack's quest. Soon he is caught up in a mysterious and dangerous web of deceit and, as the facts reveal themselves, the prospects for his survival look bleak.
