In this story several years after the sinking of the Titanic, an explosion rocks a luxury liner and before its sinking, several lifeboats are launched. However, just as with the Titantic there is not enough space for all the passengers. The reader is thrown into a lifeboat with Grace Winter and 37 other passengers and one member of the crew and warned that time to get away from the sinking ship is vital. Grace watches as the ship sinks, not knowing whether another lifeboat has rescued her bridegroom or not.
Fast forward to a court room where Grace and 2 others are on trial for murder. Startled the reader wonders what happened and they are treated to the recollections of the weeks that Grace spent in that lifeboat and the events that occurred prior to the rescue.
