"Bring everyone back alive." That's Lizzie Jordan's motto as first mate on a tour boat on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's 2009, and life is good for Lizzie, who's coasting through island life with a long list of drinking buddies and almost-boyfriends. She's never had to think very hard about that motto, until now.A casual drink with a co-worker - followed by a seemingly simple favor - pulls Lizzie into the middle of a precarious situation.

As her "no worries" island lifestyle starts to slip away, Lizzie stumbles on a hard truth she should have learned years ago: Even if you run all the way to the Caribbean, everything catches up with you sooner or later.
