Harris White is on a journey, one that takes him across land and sea in search of The Monster Belt, where he believes he'll find the key to unravelling a mystery deeply rooted in his past. Dee Winter, however, has her sights set firmly on a future away from The Monster Belt. When their paths collide, will Harris and Dee find the answers they've been looking for?
