The Courlis loses power on an evening crossing. Acha Belkacem can still see the lights ashore when something reaches up from the water and takes her father.

Twenty minutes later, it brings him back alive. When it returns, another passenger is within reach. It takes Younes again. As a lifeboat struggles to reach the stranded ferry, the passengers start to believe they can keep the rest of the vessel safe by leaving him where the creature expects to find him.

Younes knows what waits beneath the hull. He refuses to let another passenger take his place. Acha has to find a way to get him off the ferry before the people promising to protect him decide what his life is worth.
