He chose her over the company. He's about to find out the real cost of romance...

David's love for Romina may be strong, but he's sailing into troubled waters. And he's even prepared to endure torturous months apart working like a dog on another ship, if it means he can get them back together. Though he's unprepared for the sadistic challenges his cruel new boss implements to break him body and soul.

Enduring extreme anti-Americanism, food deprivation, and 100-hour-long work weeks, David's only beacon of hope is the messages sent from his soulmate. With her emails to sustain him, he vows to stay the course and outsmart the higher-ups of the cruise-line giant.

Can David survive the stormy conflict threatening to drown his hopes of reuniting with Romina?
