Mike O'Leary considers himself a self-made man who has worked hard most of his young adult life to get him where he is today. Only a few years out of college, Mike has a promising career unfolding as a writer for a nationally-acclaimed maritime publication. He receives his next assignment--the assignment of a lifetime--spending the summer in Door County, Wisconsin, as he researches and reports on many of the fascinating shipwrecks.
Wisconsin's equivalent to the East Coast Hamptons, the Martha's Vineyard of the Midwest, Door County is also renowned for its dark history of shipwrecks and strange disappearances. On par with the Bermuda Triangle, Door County made a name for herself in the earliest of Great Lakes' navigation history. Named by the French who called the ominous passage the "Porte des Mortes" (the Door of Death), the channel running between the Door Peninusula and Washington, Plum and Rock Islands is the watery gravesite for many a ship and crew.
Mike has his work cut out for him as he quickly discovers his work demands and self-assurance try and strain his dearest of relationships and his very humanity is soon being put to the test.
