Synopsis: Withdrawn and depressed after an accident that cost her both her hearing and her marriage, archeologist Veronica Coleridge is desperate for something that will make her life worth living. When her father tells her of the mask of the Storm Mother, the very same ancient Meso-American mask which her mother died searching for, Veronica devotes herself to vindicating her mother's quest.
But she can't do it alone. She needs the help of Dugan Gallagher, the owner of a boating and salvage business who agrees to take Veronica to the wreck of The Alcantara, an eighteenth-century vessel aboard which the Storm Mother was believed to have been lost at sea. Dugan quickly becomes engrossed in Veronica and her search as they race to recover the mask before the mysterious man who hounded her mother gets his hands on it first. When they find themselves caught in a maelstrom at sea, they learn that far more than an ancient mask is involved -- and only the love and trust they have come to share can save them.
