When Seychelle rescues a traumatized Haitian girl, she promises to help the child find her American father. Determined to protect Solange, and prevent the authorities from deporting her, Seychelle must explore Florida’s hidden world of voodoo in search of the forces that nearly killed the girl – and left her speechless with terror.
With a murderer stalking the child, Seychelle races to unravel dangerous truths. But to do so, she must take to the sea and return to where it all started: in the waters of the Gulf Stream, where people died for their dreams of freedom – and a man with a machete did the work of the devil himself.
