Best-selling mystery novelist Trevor Hughes has no idea that
attending his twentieth reunion at Harvard will forever change his
life. Persuaded to go by his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Dr.
Julia Magnusson, he meets up with three old friends: Solly Rubens,
a self-made Wall Street millionaire; Ken Faust, a successful
software entrepreneur; and Harlan Astor, New York real estate
tycoon and the glue that holds their circle together. That
afternoon, over drinks at the Harvard Club, Harlan drops his
bombshell: He is doing what James Cameron did not -- he is
rebuilding the Titanic, and sailing the ship on the hundredth
anniversary to honor those who died, including his
great-grandfather, John Jacob Astor IV. Only Trevor is intrigued by
Harlan's audacity. Touched by his friend's interest and concern,
Harlan invites him on the maiden voyage to serve as the official
chronicler. On April 10, 2012, Trevor journeys to Southampton and,
along with the hundreds of handpicked passengers, boards the
Titanic. He is awed by the immensity of the ship and the feelings
that well up in him. His friend has made his grand dream a reality.
During the journey, armed with his iPod Touch and a miniature
wireless camera hidden in his glasses, Trevor interviews both
passengers and crew, eager to learn the reasons why they chose to
sail on the reborn ship. Nearly every one of them claims to have
been profoundly affected by Cameron's film, wanting to recapture
the magic for themselves. And some of them are dying -- their last
wish to be on the maiden voyage of the new Titanic. Trevor is
touched that his friend has allowed these people to come aboard,
and is unprepared when he meets Madeleine Regehr, a beautiful,
free-spirited woman who resists his entreaties to be interviewed,
intriguing Trevor all the more. Slowly, and inexorably, Maddy draws
him out of his shell, allowing him to love deeply and completely,
for the very first time in his life. But Trevor soon discovers a
darker purpose for the voyage, a purpose that threatens to destroy
him and the woman he loves. In a race against time that pits friend
against friend, Trevor must stop the unstoppable or risk a horrific
replay of history...
