Can coming home be a redemption? Or at least a place to hide out? Released from prison, Blake returns to the only place she ever felt safe, the now derelict Maine town she harbored in as a teen. Determined to keep her secrets and the losses to herself, Blake can’t help being dragged into others’ lives when she walks on as an apprentice lobsterman to Leland, who has problems of his own. Nearly broke and trying to support himself and 9-year-old Quinnie, Leland’s questionable reputation and inability to pay the going wage make it impossible find lobstermen for his crew. Blake is distant and silent, but competent, more than competent. Soon Leland and those around Blake are surprised and jarred by how much they have come to rely on her. As more eyes turn her way, Blake feels forced to run again, only to discover her old life is seldom more than a couple steps behind her. Blake finds herself on a collision path with her own past in her quest to find home.
