"Melis Nemid is a marine biologist who lives alone on a island
with her dolphins, Pete, and Suzy. When Melis' adopted father, Phil, contacts her with a frantic message, she goes to him, only to witness his violent death. Melis knows why Phil died: he knew the location of a mythical sunken island filled with treasure, and someone else wants to know its location, and Phil refused to tell anyone. Melis reluctantly joins forces with Kelby, a young billionaire, to find the killer who has made Melis his next target, believing that she knows the location of the treasure. They soon learn that the person they are dealing with is ruthless. He know secrets from Melis' past and he plays on her worst fears, trying to find the location of the treasure. Kelby and Melis realize that they have to find this killer and before he finds them and uses the tresure for his evil purposes."
