Surviving a mid-air disaster, cute and quirky Los Angeles teen, Charlotte O’Donnell and her conservative mother are marooned on an uninhabited island with just one other survivor: Ray Hutchinson, a London drug dealer. Charlotte’s mother is badly injured and is forced to relinquish responsibility for her daughter, to the whims of criminal Ray – a man who is discovering the flip side to many a man’s favorite fantasy. Meanwhile, New Zealand oceanographer Tom Fitzgerald and his wife – a couple who lost more than most in that disaster – set sail on a quest for answers. But in the U.S., new evidence transforms their innocent journey into a voyage through a political and cultural minefield. How much of this, if any, is the fault of the beautiful but enigmatic Charlotte? The erotic and sinister concluding part of the adventure.
