Laura’s father has left her with a partially translated manuscript that will either save the world from climate disaster or speed up the coming apocalypse. She holes up in a seaside cabin to finish the work, but each night, creatures emerge from the sea and attempt to stop her. Will she finish the text in time to save the world, or will the creatures break through her cabin walls? Only time will tell.
