Summary

In 1961, the Duperrault family sets sail on their dream getaway aboard a boat named Bluebelle, testing out their hopes of living at sea for a year later on. Everything was perfect. The weather was warm, and they were kept themselves busy with snorkeling and collecting shells. But on the day they were due to return home, tragedy struck when a man was found in a dinghy in the middle of the ocean, detailing how the Bluebelle had sunk.
