Publisher's Synopsis
Reeling from addiction and on the run, accused murderer, Jeff Radcliffe escapes South Carolina authorities by sailing to the U.S. Virgin Islands. In Saint John, Jeff tracks down old sailing rival, Marcel Renaud, who invites him to sail to Trinidad. En route, a storm throws the two off-course to the coast of Venezuela.
Injured at sea, Jeff recuperates in the small fishing village of Rio Renacido at the home of Father Gilberto, a Catholic priest.
