On the eve of World War II, the passengers of a small steamer bound for Japan fight to survive against a mysterious inventor, and the terrifying creatures that he summons.
Description:
In the dark days just before the world is plunged into war, several people board a small steamer bound for the Far East. Each has their own reasons for traveling. Each has their own private concerns and secrets. But the most private and most secret of all may be the mysterious man who keeps to himself in his cabin. Supposedly he is an “inventor,” but just what is he inventing? Is he connected to the unearthly noises that roll off the sea at night? The furtive, shadowy figures that can be glimpsed on deck in the moonlight? The crew members who disappear, leaving only puddles of water behind? Can the passengers solve these mysteries before even greater horror are unleashed? Can they even survive their voyage…across the Pacific?
