A cryptic message spurs Eleanor, Megan, and Nick Gresham on
a frantic search for a refugee's missing family.
While out on a walk, Eleanor Trewynn, her niece Megan, and
her neighbor Nick spot a young, half-drowned Indian man
floating in the water. Delirious and concussed, he utters a
cryptic message about his family being trapped in a cave and
his mother dying. The young man, unconscious and unable to
help, is whisked away to a hospital while a desperate effort
is mounted find the missing family in time.
The local police inspector presumes that they are refugees
from East Africa, abandoned by the smugglers who brought
them in, so while the countryside is being scoured for the
family, Eleanor herself descends into a dangerous den of
smugglers in a desperate search to find the man responsible
while there is still time.
