Swept ashore, the Asias captain survivesonly to meet a mysterious end before he can be rescued. Meanwhile, his child makes landfall and dies not far away. With dawns arrival, all that remains are the jagged hulk of the Asia and the whispers of a secret.

So begins a race to find a history-altering treasurea contest that pits Daniel Cole, keeper of the lifesaving station, and his fellow Peaked Hill Bars lifesavers against a philosophical killer. This mooncusser, an author of shipwrecks, walks a stoic horse along the ridgeline of the Capes towering beach cliffs, bending fate to his aims.
