But when a passenger mysteriously disappears Maria is left to wonder if maybe this was no coincidence. When another passenger is discovered brutally murdered in a similar way to Butler's ritualistic MO the ship goes on lockdown. Maria one of only twelve people in the world with intimate knowledge of the case faces a perilous ticking clock. Is it a copycat? Or is she trapped on board with the bloodthirsty maniac she chose to set free?
