Judy is the heir to Bangkok's late alcohol mafia - born into generational wealth built on a powerful liquor brand, distribution chains, bars, and clubs across the country. Her father ended the shady dealings before his death, but the blood, deaths, and bad decisions still linger beneath the polished legacy. While her elder brother runs the business cleanly and keeps the records spotless, Judy spirals. She stays high, drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk sex, making reckless decisions without restraint. Judy doesn't give a fuck about the business or anything else at this point. Trying to escape from reality every single day. She neglects negotiations and acts tough until she met him. Until she met him, at her family mansion's doorstep late at night, bruised and covered in blood, asking for shelter. Will she let him pull her back into the violence she's been trying to drown out, or keep her walls high and her hands clean?

What happens when two people, with a feeling of endless animosity towards each other, end up in a situation that goes beyond hate? Chaos, and probably the start of something more.

Did the risk ignite something? Or is it back to same old disdain?

Sam never expected to survive the place meant to measure her breaking point. Thrown into a covert detention facility disguised as a research vessel, she endures psychological experiments designed to exploit fear, guilt, and memory. There she meets Teresa-guarded, razor-sharp, and carrying ghosts of her own-and the two form a bond that begins in tension and hardens into something unshakable. When a riot fractures the system holding them captive, Sam and Teresa help transform a desperate escape into something far more dangerous: a tactical unit known as the Castoffs, dedicated to dismantling the shadow network that created them. As the Castoffs wage precise, calculated rescues across open water, they become a whispered promise to the imprisoned and a growing threat to those in power. But battle does not only come from enemies, and the sea itself proves just as merciless as any captor. When a violent storm tears through their mission and scatters everything Sam has built, survival becomes deeply personal once more. Stranded between the life she escaped and the family she chose, Sam must decide what freedom truly means-and whether some bonds are strong enough to outlast even the tide.

"She's a medical emergency. He's a system failure. Together, they're a beautiful disaster." One is fighting to save lives. The other is playing for extra ones. Felicity Maureen Miranda is a MedTech student living on caffeine and compassion. Her life is a meticulously planned roadmap toward a white coat and a pediatric clinic. She's the girl who cares too much, works too hard, and carries the weight of everyone's expectations on her shoulders. But when the pressure of the medical track starts to overflow, her perfect life begins to feel like a sinking ship. Michael Darwin Mariano is the quiet in the middle of her storm. A Computer Science major with a "not my problem" attitude, he views the world through the cold logic of code and the strategic distance of a high-ranked gamer. He's nonchalant to a fault, preferring the predictable glitches of a program to the messy, unpredictable emotions of real life.

A ritual is performed in an abandoned mine. Afterwards, things take a terrifying turn...
