PLOT SUMMARY

Georgia Perry is six months into a solo circumnavigation of the world when her yacht is becalmed for several days. Perry starts to crack under the pressure and she's soon finding it impossible to tell what is real and what is hallucination. But she's also being physically harmed by her "illusions" – so could some of them be real?
