Max is a traveling veterinarian running from his past and
turning to the comforting distortion of alcohol and prescription
tranquilizers. When the charred remains of a rare sea turtle are
found on one of the last untouched barrier islands of the Carolina
coast, rent-a-vet Max is just sober enough to question the
sheriff's explanation and begin a deeper investigation of his
own.
As the convergence-a celestial alignment that occurs only once
every seven years-and its freak tides and strange currents
approaches, Max becomes the unlikely ringleader of an alliance of
smugglers, poachers, parolees, and illegals who unite to block a
developer's plan to build on the island. In an even more unlikely
circumstance, he finds himself drawn toward Maggie, a hostess at
the liquor house who is as raw and hard as the drinks she
serves.
When an ex-flame shows up to offer her assistance, Max is faced
with a sudden and impossible choice. He can choose to return to the
city, wealth, and prominence he left behind when he lost his career
to a big mistake, or he can risk a new start in a harsh but
beautiful land.
