Overview Ratings & Reviews

When a Blue Whale tagged with a web-cam as part of a television natureprogram broadcasts a brutal murder at sea, an FBI agent with a fear ofwater finds herself in a deadly race to reach the animal before anunknown killer can destroy the digital evidence it carries. For SpecialAgent Tara Shores, the many possible suspects each present obstacles asunique and perilous as the sea itself. Is the murderer one of the webviewers vying for the controversial reality show’s million-dollarprizes? The extremist environmental group threatening violence unlessthe whale is liberated from its high-tech tracking device? The wealthyHollywood power-couple who own the show? Or the troubled, younginventor of the whale-cam? And just who was the beautiful womanslaughtered live on the web?

Navigating an ocean of manipulation and deceit, the detective’s besthope for a solid piece of evidence is the original murder video, stillattached to the back of the 100-ton creature which roams the Pacifictethered to its electronic leash. But when the tag’s GPS locatormysteriously fails, it seems that finding the beast will proveimpossible.

As the Special Agent dives deeper into the case, what she initiallydismisses as a publicity stunt for the glitzy reality series soonsweeps her out to sea in a riptide of greed, sex, and high-tech crime.
