Perched on the towering cliffs, a menacing figure in black with a gleaming switch-blade and a feral thirst for retribution demands the demise of the weather-beaten seaman, Fish-Kettle John. Can the sins of man be forgiven in a single jab?

The savage and boundless sea has always been cruelly just to the rugged and weather-beaten seaman, Fish-Kettle John, and his family. Nestled in a secluded bay encircled by dangerously steep cliffs and the eternal water's cerulean embrace, John senses that their haven's incorruptible silence is forever disrupted by an invisible intruder.
