Sail begins with a captured Tuna delivering a life or death message in a bottle. The authors then back-track to the start of the Dunn family's deadly, one-of-kind vacation.

Katherine Dunne (Anne), heart surgeon and mother, lost her husband, Stuart, four years ago - and since then her relationship with their children has deteriorated. Her oldest son abuses drugs; the daughter is suicidal; and the youngest is an overweight introvert. Anne remarried 11 months ago and adores her new husband, Peter. Now it's time to get her children back before she loses them forever. Anne's idea of getting back in touch is taking them on a boat trip with her former brother-in-law, Jake - on their late dad's boat. The same boat Stuart died on while scuba diving.

A vacation meant to bring a family together does the opposite, as the kids fight with each other, as well as with the adults. It's misery on the small boat with nothing but deep blue water surrounding them. Suddenly they are thrown into one catastrophe after another, and with each ordeal they relearn the importance of love, loyalty and survival - but not everyone survives. What Anne doesn't know is what seems like a whole lot of bad luck is actually bought-and-paid for attempted murder. Someone wants this family dead and is willing to go to great lengths to make it happen.

With imperfect characters, wicked evil-doers, sandy beaches and blue water, cliff-hanger suspense, perilous scene after scene action and even a bit of court room drama, Sail is the read / listen of the summer. Actor / director Dylan Baker and actress Jennifer Van Dyck narrate the audio version. Their collaboration brings out the best of this breath-taking drama.
