"One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation. When others can't read us, they write their own story-not always one we choose or that's true to who we are."
Petra Reyes, a young adult who has only known the comfort of crime and violence since her childhood, joins her close friends Mae Butler and Dante Nieri, the self-contrasting trio making up a notorious group of mercenaries on the seas of the South Pacific. When the three of them come across an unexpected request from a client, Petra is ultimately pushed to her limit on a journey to discover who she really is hidden underneath all of the booze and bullets; and whether or not she is strong enough to overcome the impossible.
