The Good Seed

When survey engineer Calvin Mulloy crash-lands his homemade sailplane on a tiny island in Mersey's storm-torn gulf, he finds himself alone, soaked, and trapped by a rising tide. The island is little more than bare rock, and the violent weather is making the surrounding waters increasingly dangerous, threatening to drown his refuge before rescue can arrive. Calvin's practical mind refuses panic. He knows help may eventually come, but the storm's strange effects on the shallow gulf could make that too late, so he searches the island for any possible way out. What he finds instead is an intelligent traveling plant, another castaway with its own wary perspective on survival. As the two exchange hard truths about their predicament, Calvin's stubborn determination clashes with the bleak reality of the flood. In this tense frontier survival tale, ingenuity, pride, and an unlikely alliance may be the only hope against the encroaching water.
