When missing persons expert Frankie Elkin arrives on a remote atoll in the Pacific, she quickly realizes the two most important members of the crew are the cooks. Their ability to throw together amazing and satisfying meals makes all the difference between happy coworkers or hangry campmates. Cook Ann immediately proves her point by preparing tuna poke, a classic Hawaiian dish. Ann’s version of this raw tuna salad includes macadamia nuts, lemon and honey. Frankie declares it one of the best things she’s ever eaten.

Frankie is eager to possibly rescue a teenage girl, even if it involves flying to a remote atoll in the Pacific, where a charming tycoon is constructing an eco-resort—and possibly holding Leilani against her will. But now Frankie is trapped on an island with a dozen strangers and numerous deadly deceptions.
As the danger mounts, Frankie faces her toughest challenge with no chance of rescue, no hope of escape, and a massive storm rolling in…
