Julia and her husband, Trent, own and run the Sea Gallery and live in the upstairs apartment. He goes off several times a year to photograph oceans and seas while Julia stays home and keeps the business going. It is a wonderful life--until it isn''t.

Julia gets a scary phone call that Trent did not make his contact, wherever he was going. Julia knows he is somewhere in Africa, but that is not enough to let her know what happened. Is he really missing? Who should she tell? When, or if, will he return? How can she help him when she cannot find his itinerary and they are oceans apart?
