31-year-old divemaster Ricky Yamamoto makes a decent living while working in paradise. She's left behind family, and a lot of emotional baggage, but still carries a knapsack full of trust issues. Many consider her the island's most competent diver, but the police think she has a few screws loose. Those who consider her a friend wouldn't disagree with either assessment. One day, her morning dive is interrupted by a spinning tangle of chains, bodies, and what appears to be a truck axle, dragging her into the middle of an international gang crime investigation. While rumors go viral, local police and federal investigators go silent, friendships come into question, and overzealous journalists put her in the spotlight, Ricky becomes easy pickings for the nervous murderers looking to eliminate loose ends. However, unaware of Ricky's own stubborn nature, they merely ratchet up her determination to get closure. Unclear on whom to trust, she takes matters into her own hands, applying her uniquely inventive and random style of problem solving to confront the ragtag collection of fiends. With unknown numbers of the crime crew working to shut her down, Ricky leads them through tunnels carved in the mountains by Japanese troops during World War II, on a high speed chase through the lush islands of Palau, and back to where it all began - on the edge of her favorite cliff.
