โฆ Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Nixie sucks at being the daughter of a cult-leader. Forbidden to leave the beached boat where her father, his three wives, and their twenty followers pretend to have created Utopia, Nixie stares at the distant shoreline with a hunger deeper than the ocean itself. A hunger for a normal life--high school, college, and beyond.
When Crew nearly drowns during a party on their beach, Nixie plunges into the ocean--and fierce rebellion against her father--to save him. As the two explore the strangeness of each other's worlds in stolen moments on dry land, they're caught up in a whirlwind of intensifying feelings.
Rebellion's easy when you focus on what you hope to gain. It's a million times harder when you realize what you stand to lose.
