Synopsis

"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day."

"Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars.

"See anything interesting?"

"Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit."

He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea."

"But you just said-"

"I just said you make me want to stab myself. Interpret that however you'd like."





With a love for whales and all life (besides maybe humans), Reagan Winebrenner had never even seen an ocean until her senior year in high school. But the moment she saw her first humpback, she knew she had found her passion and future career.

A few years later and an invitation to Paradise City in hand, Reagan has her entire summer laid out for her, working on the project of a lifetime. But with five other students completing their projects as well, will they discover something worthwhile, or will they end up a psychology lesson for future generations?
