Grace, Lia and Sky live in an abandoned hotel, on a sun-bleached island, beside a poisoned sea. Their parents raised them there to keep them secure, to lead them to good. The world beyond the water is contaminated and men are the contamination. But at some point three strangers wash ashore – men who stare on the sisters hungrily, helplessly. Men who bring trouble.
