A sweeping, genre-bending sci-fi epic set in Hawaii and beyond—where first contact, alien fugitives, and the fate of Earth collide with the lives of two broken souls.
When Ashton Harrington, a brilliant but emotionally scarred investment manager, moves to the Big Island of Hawaii, he hopes to rebuild his life in paradise. But his world is upended when a series of brutal murders—seemingly the work of a monstrous sea creature—draws him into a web of mystery, danger, and cosmic intrigue. Haunted by prophetic dreams and pursued by local police, Ash’s only ally is Abby Parker, a sharp-witted private investigator with her own painful past.
As Ash and Abby’s partnership deepens, they discover the three alien criminals have escaped from a galactic prison and are hiding on Earth, bringing with them deadly technology and a toxic substance that threatens all life. Guided by cryptic messages from a telepathic alien agent, Ash and Abby must navigate local suspicion, government intervention, and their own growing feelings as they race to stop the fugitives before catastrophe strikes.
But the alien crisis is only the beginning. As the series unfolds, Ash is thrust into the center of a galactic power struggle, chosen by the Confederation to lead Earth through a transformative—and perilous—first contact. With Abby at his side, he must broker peace, confront global threats, and face impossible choices that will determine the future of humanity.
